Okay ,I left Paul a message on IM ealier - Yeah, It came from a 2001 crown vic 4six crate engine. I'm not sure why it's longer - Paul will most likley know. I'll prolly off it on eBay or something if you guys can't use it - or keep it around for spare parts..

And boring out a 5.4 is kinda defeating the purpose since a 5.4 is an already bored out 4.6.....

stroked not bored...

still my point was that 4.6 has greater potential.. being that it already makes loads more power with less displacement than a 5.4/330 does

HI!... The only reason the 4.6 makes AS MUCH power as the 5.4 is due to the way FORD produces them. Due to the larger cubic inches of the 5.4 it will ALWAYS make more power that the 4.6 with the exact same mods. This has been proven over and over again. Geez I was making around 425H.P (flywheel) with my 5.4 and it's a low compression 2-valve. Imagine a 4-valve with say 12:1 compression. 600 N/A would be obtainable.
