You will need a $2,000 tork tech intake manifold to put the eaton blower on your modular ford engine. I am not sure if the same intake manifold works on the 5.4. Something also tells me the eaton isnt a simple swap onto the 5.4 and isnt directly proportionate in gains coming from a 4.6 to a 5.4. You have to consider differences in compression ratio, etc.

Do a Lightning whipple or KB. Both us a side or rear inlet but not the top inlet like the Eaton which will save you like 8" hood clearance.

you can buy intake manifold runners from Tork Tech to put it on a 5.4L. Same manifold, new crossbrace.
