Since it's going into the Super Duty only, dimensions aren't that big of a deal. It's going to be DOHC. You can do so much more with the calibration to improve drivabilty, emissions and performance when you have Ti-VCT.Not sure if that was directed at me, but i never said the motor would be based off the diesel or that it would be iron. I actually said just the opposite. As for the heads, I would like to see a dohc 4v but unless you have inside knowledge I agree it's likely but I don't think it's a guarantee. A sohc head with 3v or 4v could flow good air and keep the dimensions more compact.
The 5.4 started life as a 2v. But I agree with everything you said the motor could possibly be. A 4v dohc head probably would not need dual spark plugs though.
