That's what I would lean towards, problem is, apparently (or from what I've read) all the electronics in these newer cars can cause some headaches. And the '05-'09 parts (engine in particular) are still pretty expensive compared to the older generations. I'd wait till they start to drop. I'd obviously love to find a 5.4L but they're pricey, even the '05-'09 4.6L's go for a few grand from what I've researched. I've also thought about trying to find a spare 4.0 since it would be an easy swap, have a cam and ported heads installed while it's out and then swap it in. That's low on my list though
And those Mark VIIs are pretty sweet. I've heard one around with exhaust and it's nasty. But as you said, drivetrain first
