go with the 5.4 shortblock, there is a reason they used it in the gt 500. the aftermarket for the 5.4 is growing extremely fast.

5.0L mod stoker= waste of money. Unless you like the braggin right sof sayin "I've got a stroker motor"
5.4L = lots of power plain and simple!

what?![>:]

the 5.4 is used in the GT500 and the ford Gt (aluminum there), but it can handle as much if not more than the 03-04 cobra motors.
