97 4.6 Timing belt interval?

What is the conventional wisdom regarding timing belt and tensioner service intervals for the 4.6L engine?

TIA

I believe we are looking at a time chain VS a belt. Not sure Service intervals on chains are noted.

Its a hyvo type chain and it needs no service it automatically adjusts with oil pressure. I have 4.6 in a Crown Vic with 160k on it and it runs like top, sans the quart of oil it uses every 1000 miles.

I would assume that is the same type of system for the 5.4?
