Brahmus,
Any idea how much something like that costs? Nice to know something like that is at least possible. Or better yet, maybe a post to a link about what all is entailed in that?
geeesh, I just found a stroker kit for this, and it costs $3000 or some crud.... Nevermind about it... lol

A 4.6 and a 5.0 are two completely different animals. The 4.6 is a modular engine, and the 5.0 is not. The 4.6 is a 281, though, you were right, and unless you have a deeper pocketbook than mine, there aren't too many super-performance upgrades that you can do to one.

I really never understood the mentality behind dumping any sort of real money into a 4.6 on a truck to make it go faster. Sure I can understand small stuff like a catback, maybe some headers, an air intake system, and a chip. But a stroker? Come on now. If you really want power and speed that bad, buy something at least with a 5.4 in it, or just get a Lightning. But hey, that's just my thoughts. If you've got the money to spend and that's what you want, more power to ya. I'll be over here saving up for a mint 93 Cobra.
Oh how I wish I would've kept my blown 95 L

Like I say it makes more sense after about 5 years or so, if your still keeping the truck. I mean, if the parts were say $800 or less maybe.
There are valid reasons to go with the 4.6 to start with, but possibly improve it down the road for myself anyways.
This 04 F-150 is a Daily Driver for my significant other, and even the 4.6L with the Regular Cab and 3.73 gears is a little to much for her in all honesty.
In a few years it will no longer be a daily driver, as we are going for early retirement within about 2 years from now.

Its pretty easy to convert Liters to CID if you don't know the exact number. Just remember this 300 I-6 is a 4.9L a 302 V-8 is a 5.0L. So for arguments sake just call it 60.5 cubic inches per liter.
4.6 X 60.5 = 278.3 not exact but close.
The engine manufacturers use some hocus pocus with thier numbers.
