I know it's no heavier than a 5.4 DOHC.
It's not that much taller. Fox body Mustang would have a similar bonnet height to an E series. Cause taller manifolds and 351's require cowl induction hoods on them, and those things pretty much result in next to no hood clearance on an E series. Looking at these pics it doesn't look so bad. Problem is the throttle body location, which is quite high right where the bonnet starts sloping down.

An aftermarket manifold, that makes the throttle body location better located at the front of the manifold, would fix that.
