modular Fords different heads, timing gear differences?

[william]

I’m thinking weird thoughts about getting some 4valve dohc heads from a Lincoln 32 valve 4.6 and putting them on a 5.4 lower end.
My question is do I need to switch the timing gears on the front of the crank from the Lincoln engine and will that work?
Also what about the chain guides? Anyone who has done some work like this would be appreciated if you have any input.
I have a 08 Mustang GT all the bolt on bells and whistles but I want to get better torque than what I was getting the 4.6 3v.

the timing sets are different but if you get the whole engine from a 5.4l 4v Lincoln navigator you will be set with everything you need and all accessories bolt up
