How can you Yanks not know about Sean Hyland.
Go the alloy 4.6 block (99-01) and change the rods and pistons and add a blower. Lighter then the cast iron version and works out cheaper and better hp then buying a brand new 03-04. I haven't blown a hole in the side of my engine yet so don't worry to much about the strength thing. Mind you it has only ever been on an engine dyno.
Over here in Australia we fit the 5.4 Boss engine in Cobras. I have one of these engines in another car and it pumps out over 460rwhp @ just over 8psi.
But just go the 4.6. Parts are cheap and readily available for anyone in the states.
