Re: 5.4 DOHC vs built 4.6
5.4 Pros
-inexpensive power
-can make 400/400 with a stock ported intake and adapter
5.4 cons
-No long tubes available
-adds weight
-can't use the shaker, requires new hood
-have to make new a/c lines
-Boss intake is expensive
5.3 pros
-good power
-lighter than a 5.4
-long tubes are available
-can keep the shaker
5.3 cons
-cost more than a 5.4 that makes similar power
The power potential of the bb/stroker and 5.4 is very similar, but to build a 5.3 the cost will be around $2k higher.
