I thought there was alot of extra work involved getting the 5.4 heads to fit even on a DOHC 4.6... You would be better off and cheaper to just get 4.6 DOHC heads.... IMHO....

Go to www.modularfords.com & do a search for this..............

Putting 4.6 DOHC heads on a 5.4L & vice versa has been done before....

Hope this helps............

SHM, (sean Hyland Motorsports) says that they will fit. although thats all they said, no details no nothing. i assume they want me to buy thier19$ book about mod motors. while the thought of a 5.0 liter stroked 4 vavle sounds like a winner.......... i think maybe a long rod 383 will suit me more and be a whole lot easier. i was not aware until i looked at the rule book, but at the FFW mod motor class, i am not legal because my 90 lx notch did not come with a mod originally :(. oh well
