if anyone has a sight that i can look at that has done the swap it would be great
Wow factor? Fuck the wow factor, have you heard about practicality? With a 5.4 4V setup if you want to swap cams you have to pull or raise the motor. If you want to change spark plugs you have to pull or raise the motor. It's a dumb swap, you can make more than enough power with a 4.6, for a lot cheaper than going 5.4. If you stick a lightning motor in your car it is horrible to drive. The blower sticks out of a 4.5" cowl and takes away tons of visibility.
