ya my hood has an additional 2" of clearance, but if other 5.4's can fit im sure i can make one to. i would prob just buy an intake from steeda and then that should save me some clearance. im looking for a navigator motor cause ive been told those are 4V's. if i end up getting the 5.4, as long as its not installed i might as well see if i could bore it out to an even larger displacment, but ive never seen any 5.4's do it so im not sure if its possible, i know the 4.0's are to thin and nearly impossible to do.
I did the math some time ago and if the same bore/stroke addition was done to the 5.4 that turns the 4.6to5.0 then the 5.4 would become a 5.8
maybe see if you can get a 5.8 badge
I want to do this too someday

Remember 5.4L=331ci
331/8=41.375ci per cylinder
Bore/Stroke 3.55 X 4.16
3.55in=diameter, 4.16in=hight
3.14*R^2*H (or pi*.5bore^2*Stroke)
Volume 41.1756
then change the bore for the bore of the 5.0
so if you use a 3.7in bore instead of the 3.55
pi*((.5*3.7)^2)*4.16*8*0.01638706(cui-to-liter)=5.86378Liters

See if you can grab a wrecked Navi with the 5.4 4v.
Then you could park it next to the car and pick 'n pull as needed.
Can the 4v use the cams from the 4.6 4v? That would be pretty wicked. Grab some 01 Cobra cams

your best bet really is to grab a wrecked Navi. See if they'll let you have the carcass until the swap is done, then you return what is left. I'm sure you can work a deal to cut costs....perhaps give your v-6 as a core charge?

Ya go check a salvage yard I doubt you'll get everything from an ebay add 9I would think an ebay seller would try to get maximum value where as a salvage yard it would mean one engine they don't have to pull

2000/03 was bumped up to just about what the 3V is now: 300hp/ 355tq.
The 3V has the same horsepower with 365tq.
But the 4V has the potential because of the quad cams.
