Why? Then it would be just like all the other big boost modular motors.

Because it would not only blow the doors off of the N/A version, it would sound and drive alot better doing it? I think thats good enough. To each his own I guess. I just prefer a higher level of badass in a build.....I assume. Our fathers spent the 60s 70s and some of the 80s making over-the-top displacement N/A builds with god-awful cams too large to even idle themselves, what is unique about doing it now in 2011? I just think its a let down to build a 5.4 up just to be easily walked by lower displacement boosted motors. And for what? Its cooler to go slow? While you're at it put a decal on your car that says "But its N/A Bro!"

Either way as stated before babies will still die and it will still be a cool build. Im glad out of all the "thinking of 5.4 swap" threads somebody is tackling it with skill and knowledge instead of being discouraged. Just left a bit of a bad taste to see her potential capped off. I am however in love with the flat red coating on the engine trim, good idea and well done.

^As long as that decal has "BRO" in it, you're good to go.
