I know you said money was not an issue, but you could just get a brand new 5.4L SOHC like all the other trucks, saving a lot of money. With a few mods you could be over the HP and Torque rating of that 5.4L with DOHC. Just my two cents...

I'd say it would be $$ wise to just drop in a new DOHC (32v Intech) than to try to replace the heads, intake, PCM (yes you'll need a new one) etc. etc.

:EDIT:

I'm not sure what I read. Somehow I got out of it that you wanted to rebuild. And I wasn't even drinking!!

i think that is what he was saying wasnt it?
i think he wanted to drop the entire engine.

i too am interested in this.
i would like to try this with my moms EXPY.

im sure it would be the same.

all you should need is the 32V intech engine and a new computer.
