I'm pretty sure thats all ford did for the 2013's, so yes you can bore out the 5.4 block.

I thought I read somewhere SVT said the 5.8L's bore is the largest possible with that block, and stroking it is not really an option.

You will need to sleeve it to be at 5.8L. MMR and L&M sleeve and believe it has to do with not enough material left to be strong enough.
