Default 4v swap

I had this link saved in my favorites on what parts are needed, etc, and my comp crashed and i lost all my shortcuts. Anyways before you say search, i did on 2 forums and both say that "4v" is too short to search. I had a few links that showed the write up and the parts needed, does anyone have any links?? Im debating on doing a 5.4L swap with the 4v heads... you might ask why not buy just a complete navi engine, well because they cost too much and the damn heads are too big for me. Anyways, thanks.

-Paul

Is the 5.4 a direct swap? Cuz if so, $3000 might not be so bad...

No one makes an off the shelf LT header for the 5.4 and you'll need to widen the H pipe a little more than an inch but yes, it's a direct swap. If you have a 2v you'll need to buy 4v COP boots. It will be driveable and safe but you wont gain the full benefit until you get a tune.

I didn't see where it said anything about custom cams. To me it would be pointless to build a motor of that caliper and not have bigger cams.
