Not to sure about the tranny but you can not use the computer. It is gonna be a pain of a swap. Would be easier to swap in a 4v motor

RE: 5.4 / 4.6 3v
3v heads will not go on a 2 or 4v block. Different passages. Sorry man but a 3v swap is just a bad idea you need to change to much and would cost to much for a little power gain. I beat 3v mustangs all the time. I beat my buddy that has intake, tune, full exhaust and 4.30 gears. 4v is a much better way to go and is cheaper.

RE: 5.4 / 4.6 3v
Well I can agree that the 3v might be more of a hassle and not worth it.. but its pretty consistent that the new 3v is better than the 4v... I like them because they are more simple and reliable design... but that sucks about the passages... its just that timing equipment is so fkn hard to find for 4v heads! [&o]
