Vicent Vega has the tools if you follow the shop manual. The crankshaft positioning tool uses a pin on the block and the crank key to position the crankshaft for TDC. The camshaft holding tool keeps the valves springs from driving camshaft rotation while you are timing. If all you plan on doing is this 5.4, get the Ford tools. If you plan on doing more engine rebuilds, the innovative TDC tool, timing wheel, and a dial micrometer are more universal and can be used on any engine. The Ford crankshaft tool will only work on the 4.6/5.4, the innovative tool and wheel can be used on many other engines, but requires a little more skill. Power Nation engine rebuilds and various YouTube videos show how to use a timing wheel.
