The Hurricane was actually going to be a stretched block based on the 5.4, so you have to wonder if it wouldve truly remained a modular family of engines if the 5.4's getting stretched and the 4.6 isnt. If so, i guess the BOSS wouldve had to be killed off anyway cause frankly, the actual 4V heads designed for the 5.4 are pretty shit, apparently worse than the 3V heads available in a standard Falcon and the F-150's
Whats this 5L cammer engine,is it dohc,sohc or ohv
