Better motor mounts for one, is it coming with fuel lines or do you have all of that and what about sensors?

Wiring harness and ECU would be a start. Also make sure you fuel system is up to the challenge of feeding it.

What motor and what mods does it have that its pushing that power.

All I can think of is the fuel systems.

its the stock 4.6 4v with a procharger and everything upgraded to support the power and its tuned

now can he use the transmission thats bolted to the 4.6 4v on the 5.4 or does he have to get a different one?

for that kind of power, bigger fuel system (ie, injectors, pump), exhaust (need headers and mid pipe for a cobra. youre cat back will bolt up), maybe a stronger clutch, and a good tune. This is basics you will need assuming the engine is oil pan to intake + charger.

What procharger/fuel pump/ injectors on that car, how much boost?
