There are some out there making respectable power by just adding a blower to the 3V 5.4. Why go to the head ache of an engine swap? There are some worthwhile 3v heads out now that you could bolt on. It really doesn't matter what engine you start with eventually you will break something. Forged internals is the safest bet. I know that I cannot afford the forged stuff so for now it is stock. Thankfully the stock crank in my 5.4 is forged so I can push the limit a bit more but the rods are still a weak link. I don't have any plans for a rebuild but when it blows I will have to take a serious look at what my options are. I would love to get my hands on a 6.2 engine.
