You have a 4.6 in an STX. You're 8th vin digit confirms.
All the V8 fender badges say Triton whether you have the 4.6 or 5.4. That's the name FMC gave the modular engines. The only difference is if you have the 5.4, it will say "5.4 Triton"

You need to use your vin different plants might have some head differences
I don't have one of these . I'm sure you have sohc ,that's single overhead cams. That means one on each side under valve cover . You don't have phasors or VCT'S for variable cam timing . The 4.6 has way less headaches than the 5.4 -3v . Some 4.6 people on here can probably give you more info on what to look for .
