All,

The 4.6 and the new 5.0 do NOT have the same bolt pattern as a SBF!   Not sure 
how this keeps getting propagated.....

I have a 5 speed from a 4.6 sitting in my back yard, and I specifically compared 
the block mounting pattern to that of my SBF and very little if anything lines 
up!

You would need to run whatever adapter situation people are running currently to 
have 4.6 or 5.4L power!

Steve
