I don't know how 5.0 heads can work on a 4.6, or even why you would want to. Never have seen it before.

Due to the differences in design, timing covers, angle of the chambers, and lack of ability of a center camshaft design, I highly doubt it with the amount of machining needed to make it work. After all the work needed, would it really be the same engine after anyways? Quick check, look for stock intake manifold or aftermarket manifold. If its anything other than a sheet metal fab hes full of it.

I also forgot to add the bolt pattern differences, valve covers, cooling system, oiling system and overall geometry of the intake surfaces, exhaust, and block
