picked up an 03 Mach 1 that needs a short block, suggestions?
So i recently picked up a 2003 Mach one. The car has 37k on it, and it is FLAWLESS. Its got a ton of mods, and it made 662RWHP uncorrected on the dyno. Unfortunately the shortblock failed. I am thinking of putting in a Ford Racing Aluminator, but have also had thoughts of putting in a 5.4 cobra motor.
I am wondering if the new 5.4 will even fit, and if so what modifications are needed to stuff that in there.
any help will be appreciated!

My preference would be the Aluminator, but then, I'm a little biased that way. LOL! The 5.4 will physically fit the engine bay, it just won't fit under the hood, because of the increased deck height.
