Eaton makes the Lightning Supercharger, but you'll need to go easy on the boost. Your compression ratio is pretty high for a supercharger, without making sure your head gaskets are durable enough. I would also worry about pretzeling the conn rods.
Post a picture, I haven't seen your Australian spec vehicle.

You'll have to find another supercharger. You have DOHC heads and that kit is designed for 5.4 2-V apps. in the F-150. The lower intake that kit comes with won't fit. You might be able to modify your existing lower intake but I'm not famiar with what intakes are offered on the Australian 32V 5.4's whether they are Navi. lowers or something similar to the Cobra R castings... Look up MTC Forums.....there are some experts there that have great info.
