But i'll try.1) The heads are exactly the same exept they have a knock sensor in them, but when used with the gt wiring harness the knock sensor isn't used, also I think all the truck heads are windsor heads?2) Computer/wiring harness... i think the harness might require a couple exstended wires. You could use the pi intake if you have it.3) Pretty much the only problem is the intake and headers. I know that someone on that site red talks about is selling headers but they are like 700 dollars i think. 300/400 for the addapters or wait till the hard baller intake comes out for them... i'm guessing around 600/800 dollars. I would get custom cams made for the thing with probably around .600" lift in it with some other stuff the 5.4 would like. If you doing anything inside the motor i would sudjest the h beam rods from TMD. Cheap and effective.If your looking for a killer but cheap set up i would sudjest the 5.4 2v with slight porting/gasket match/ and bigger valves , forged rods, Hardballer intake, Custom long tubes, Custom Cams, Tune, and about 150 wet shot! That would be killer. Plus the aluminum construction of the hardballer would take a little back fire if it happened unlike the plastic one. Just my .02</blockquote>
