Re: Modular 4.6L experience
My experience with the modular 4.6 has been a good one. My 97 F-150 has the 4.6 SOHC and still runs great. Even with only 210 HP / 290 lb/ft, it runs similar 1/4 miles to a 5.7 hemi. The engines can take a beating, so that shouldn't be an issue.
There's a lot of good stuff here:

As for making it DOHC, I'm not even sure it's possible. If it is, it's way more trouble then it's worth.
Modifications for the 4.6s are plentiful, but like the article says, there are lots of different parts in these "modular" 4.6s so make sure any aftermarket stuff is for the exact engine you have. The best performance gains can be had with the exhaust system IMO.
