4v 5.4?
Just wondered if anyone out there has fitted a 4V head to their 5.4?
Is a 4V 5.4 available in the US?
We have a 4V 5.4 available here in the land down under, but I was of the opinion that you guys didn't have one available.
Any ideas why so?
If you want to check out our 4V 5.4 follow the link below...

I have a car equipped with a 4V 5.4 (GT-P if you visit the site), and although its power delivery prehaps isn't designed for a load pulling truck I though it would be great for those that do the drags, or want a bit extra pace. I have very recently fitted a supercharger to it, running a modest 8 lb, yet to try it on a dyno, but I expect somewhere in the area of 430hp at the rear wheels
, am currently working on the exhaust, an intake system, and an intercooler. Anyone out their with supercharged 5.4's that have done this? Just looking for pointers, any weak areas of the engine I may have to look at, or any recommended brands for parts.

Feel free to come down for a while (the only problem our cars aren't as cheap as yours
). But also we are lucky that some areas of our country still have no speed limits, YAY.

well the cobra r was put out before the navigator even existed.
It is a very exotic motor, with alot of aftermarket performance parts in it, not just run of the mill ford stuff.
I would love a 5.4 cobra R, I would take one any day over a new 03 cobra.
The 5.4 R is truely a race car, but its not something you can drive everyday.
