[QUOTE="birdman941, post: 9193059, member: 29150"] Pretty accurate. The Sullivan does not make the torque down low that the Boss does. I wanted a high torque, streetable combination that is fun to drive. The stroke of the 5.4 (4.165") overcomes the 4.6 lack of low end, yet the 32V heads will let it flow air up top. Also, the exercise of mine was to see what could be done with as many factory parts (and FRPP) as possible. My stint at Ford development and working alongside Ford engineers must have gotten into my blood a little. Aside from the obvious 2000 "R" parallels, Al's red car was a great model to build from. Al was very helpful and insightful, knowing what my goal was. I am a bit old school, new school, and was able to develop it in a way in which it could be duplicated, should someone else want to go a similar route, without buying a bunch of expensive, one off parts. 99-01 Cobra with a blown motor? Replace the short block with a 5.4, and re-use what you already have. [/QUOTE]
