1st Try is awesome

I have heard that putting the 5.4 in there is a waste of time, and not worth the hassle. The DOHC is the way to go…IMO. People will argue that a 99 Explorer PI 4.6 motor swap is the best platform to start with, but I think there is much more aftermarket for the DOHC 4.6, plus you are starting with more HP.
