The 4.6's aftermarket is starting to really come alive, so theres plenty of parts to choose from now. Not to mention the fact that that motor really loves boost

But if you just insist on putting a pushrod motor into it, and want to go through all the trouble, then why not a 351? Not really anymore work than putting a 302 in it.

Just a thought, good luck

You can have a 99+ head swap OR boost. You can't have both. Well you can.....but only if you have some serious balls. The 99+ headswap results in 11:1 compression on a 96-98 4.6. You gonna throw boost on top of that?
