im starting to see more 5.4 swaps, both 2v and 4v, and as i understand it all works,even the wiring, but is a tight fit... my two questions r , what about accesorries such as a/c and power steering, and given the fact that there isnt a whole lotta choice in intake manifolds, why hasnt anyone taken the next step and installed the lightning blower/intake/intercooler package?? im sure hood clearance would b an issue, but installing a cobra eaton instead of a lightning might work.... really just thinking out loud as im broke anyways, but anyone got a idea??

They bolt right on.

Its been done, but you need about a 6 inch cowl hood....

Are the s-trim brackets the same on a 5.4 as they are on a 4.6? Or is there some custom work that has to be done there to make work?

Other than this, everything else should swap right over, eh?
