Hi Sideshow,

The 5.4L starter is different, it mounts on the passenger side of the bellhousing and points backwards and wont fit in the DRB. DRB have a pretty major mod of an adaptor plate and few bits so that it takes the 4.6L bolt pattern and points forward on the driver's side. It is a little complicated but doesn't look too hard even to me. Just requires a bit of a mod to the bellhousing.

While I could no doubt buy many parts for the project cheaper OS, I am not a mail order kind guy. I like to walk in with my cash and walk out with my parts in my hand and start bolting it together. At the end of the day however I will probably end getting some bits that way!!!

Regards
