Default 4.6 engine question

Does anyone know if a 2008 f150 4.6 has a cast block or aluminum block with aluminum heads? Do they have a stronger (more bolt.main) than the ones in the mustangs?

In 04 the 4.6L Mustang was available 4v heads or 2v heads, 05-10 went to 3v heads, 11 ford dropped the 4.6L and went to the 5.0L

The F150 in 04 had 4.6L with 2v heads until 09 when it was available with 2v or 3v heads, and that lasted through 2010. In 2011 the F150 dropped the 4.6L for the 3.5GTDI Ecoboost
