The 5.4 would most definitely weigh more than the 4.6.

Isn't that 3 Valve design junk?

[Juggs]

the 5.4 BOSS is cast iron, so most likely, its heavier than the LS7

With 550bhp? I don't think so.

Less valves generally equates to more torque... it's odd. If you have a look at the old 8v Golf GTi Mk II engine, then compare it to the 16v, the 16v has more power, but the 8v had more torque.

3 valves is better than 2, at any rate.

How come they aren't high-res?

no way that 3 valve design is kickin butt. lots of guys in the mustang community are tryin to get those 3 valve heads to swap onto their 2v cars (like mine) they are getting cobra like performance numbers with em (cobras have 4v) without the extra weight of having to have DOHC. the 3 valve is a real hot set up right now.

[pAinTrAin]

Oh just when the new Mustang came there was a recall on heads didn't know which motor is was for!
