I dont know, maybe this sounds a little rice, but i saw a mustang in 5.0 magazine in a shootout that had a lightning engine, and they just cut out on the hood where the blower didnt clear....

if your worried about the hole in the hood, you could always cover with a hood scoop...

wouldnt be the first mustang with a hood scoop

Assume this all goes through I'm probably just going to run no hood till I can afford to buy a nice cowled glass one.

No idea about the how the intake works, sorry. But I have a question about the 5.4 and maybe you can answer it for me since you may have researched this topic before getting started. It is my understanding that the 5.4 is little more than a stroked 4.6 (and maybe bored a little, I'm not sure). My question is: will the fact that the motor is stroked, and the pistons are being pulled further down, affect how high that motor will be able to rev, as opposed to using a larger displacement motor that was not stroked, such as a motor that was bored out to make the bigger displacement?

That is a girl who posts on Stangnet...the hood is a 4 inch cowl and it still had to have the hole cut in it for the blower. The 5.4 lightning setup is very tall.

The 5.4 block is physically larger then the 4.6 thus the more cubes.

The 5.4 has the exact same bore as the 4.6, but it has an inch longer stroke. So technically it is incorrect to call a 5.4 a stroked 4.6 because the blocks are physically different. You are correct the 5.4 will not spin as high as a 4.6 with identical set ups. Which I guess with a set of 4v heads you could solve that problem. As far as the hood goes I'm looking into a modified K-member to get the engine lower in the car.
