The 5.4 is a good motor, and will serve you well if you treat it right. They do like their maintenance. Anything in particular about the schedule that has you worried?
That’s good to know about the cam phasers. Thank you. The engine work area looks a little tight when compared to my 302, and I like to do as much as I can. I would think stuff like changing the oil would be pretty much the same.

It just looks scary, it's just a lot of vacuum lines really. Once you work on it and take the time to understand it, it's quite simple to work on.
