Gapping Spark Plugs 5.4

If someone can point me to a link/post/location or tell me the proper spark plug gap for a 5.4 3v (2010 f150). I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've searched here, google, bing... and while I seem to find an endless supply of videos and 'discussion' haven't found the proper gap. Maybe I am over thinking it... or not using the 'magic' search term/phrase.

Again... thanks!

Yeah... I was not very specific or clear... my apologies on that.
Is the .041, that they come with, appropriate for the 5.4? I've just seen something (not in my web history for some reason) that recommended .052-.056 for the 2010 but they didn't specify the engine. 4.6 or 5.4 (if there is any different requirement)

I can adjust the gap just not sure what it recommended.

Too be honest, as I stated before, I may be over thinking it... last time I think I actually did this was on my '66 mustang back in '88.
