it would be my pleasure to include a parts list lol, have one started for myself for future repairs (so I wouldn't be like "what the heck did that come of off?")

ok parts run down:
1998 Mark VIII intake manifold, cylinder heads and primary timing chain tensioners, and Primary timing chain guides. Thermostat housing and thermostat
2003 mustang Cobra camshafts and valvetrain (followers, secondary chains tensioners and gear sets)
2005 f150 primary timing chains and crankshaft gear and reluctor for crank trigger
2002 Continental Timing cover, needed to retain the high power steering pump mounting location also switch to belt routing. serp belt 89 inch 6 rib and swap the tensioner pulley to a grooved pulley
2002 Lincoln Navigator exhaust manifolds.
2004 Maruader alternator (dohc skinny frame and correcet pcm controlled regulator)
2005 mustang gt throttle body (minor fitment required holes dont all line up but throttle blades open and close with no problem)
2005 f150 fuel rail modified and built brackets to mount it
some heater hose routing and vaccuum line routing
*blocked off egr for now, 3/4in brass pipe plug for manifold and a flat piece of steel for the valve mounting blocking it.
A DOHC engine harness or coil harness for relocation of IC harness
you can get along with Cobra upper an lower radiator hoses, however my local o rielly did not have in stock and was nice enough to let me match up what i need with what they had in stock.
Reused stock Fuel injectors and MAF
2 Machine shop upper plenum spacers (required to make Throttle body actuator clear Cam cover
and a slew of Ford gaskets Head, intake, IMRC, Exhaust manifold, throttle body, cam cover, NEW head bolts, and New exhaust manifold studs and nuts, I think that about covers it. If I come up with anything else Ill edit

Paint it black
Great job. So the only difference between a normal 2v to 4v and this is the etb. Its pretty cool to be the first, and likely only one who will do the swap.

Totally worth the effort! The truck runs and drives beautifully, thought there might be some change in low rpm torque because of the 2v's 14 mile long intake runners, and it seems like it a little, I also gutted the imrc plate of their throttle blades, which may have a little to do with it also, looking into some windbag vacuum actuators for the imrc and get that back together.
