I can't say for sure, but I believe the old 5.4 had a different intake on it. So, maybe not.
You might look around for a pic of the old 5.4 and see if it at least appears to be the same.

There are no parts to fit this on the redesigned 2004 5.4 3-valve F-150. After several years, a few people are finally getting the basic installation of this figured out for the last model non-supercharged 5.4.

tough call. Depends how close the 3V heads are to the 2V heads.

For sure you'd have to get a different intake manifold. To mount that "Roots type" supercharger you need a metal manifold designed to mate up to it - Look at the underside.

You would also need to change the Crank pully (double) and add some brakets for a tensioner for the extra belt.

And you would need some recalibration too obviously.

in this months StreetTrucks magazine, there is an article about installing a kenn belle supercharger for the 5.4 3valve F-150. after the modit gets 445 HP @3750rpm and 529Ft-LBs. of torque

not bad for a mod for $3,899

after reading the article again , I found that kenne bell only needs an extra belt from the alternator to the supercharger unit. it looks like an easy install.
