The 5.4 with the IR fuel injection is a great engine.
It gives you a flat interior bulkhead. 500hp.
I am not familiar with the prices, but I would recommend that you inverstigate it.
There was a car listed a PI with that combination.
I don't know if it still is.
Chances are it has a Ford generic bolt pattern for the bell.
