Possible engine build

So I've been thinking of building a 5.4 w/ 4v heads ot put in a car, maybe start with a navigator engine out of a wreck. Just a few questions;

1. Any aluminium 5.4 blocks available and if not can I use the 4.6(cant remember if they're the same thing)
2. What would be my best bet for 4v heads
3. What the H... am I gonna do about an intake manifold

Thanks for any help guys.

I was thinking that the shock towers had to be modified depending on the car. They are wider than a 460. Would be a great hot-rod project. Stick a nice supercharger on top and weeeeeee off ya go.

The car its theoretically going into already has a modular in it and according to ford the 5.4 4v is only like an inch or 2 wider. This would be an injected electronically controlled engine.

Another question: are the mounts on the v10 the same as the modulars in the cars or are they different? I know the trucks are using frames as opposed to the cars which are unit-body, is that going to lead to a different mount?
