i can kind of agree with you in the matter of feeling screwed by your mechanic, i have no idea why he wouldn't have tracked down a 2003 or at least a 2000 -2003 5.4 engine, everything newer used alot more forged steel parts i forget which ones but they did make a huge difference in effetiency, some thing about cranks and cams if i remember correctly, i got my 2003 5.4 for only 970 bucks canadian and it was not hard to find from a repitable engine distributor. not to be the barer of bad news but i think this mechanic bit off much more then he could chew or was remotely ready to tackle with his personal experience of what was needed for the project and what would benifit the consumer, being you. in the long run
