virtually nothing at all.  the 04's have slightly revised heads with more threads for the spark plugs but that is about all I know of.

THE 03 HAD SOME HEAD PROBLEMS, SOME HAD IT SOME DIDNT. I  WENT WITH THE 04..  WHEN YOUR SHOPING AROUND LISTEN FOR A LOUD TICK DRIVERS SIDE UNDER THE CAR, IF YOU HERE IT WALK AWAY.

The head tick correction didn't come out until January 2005.  The heads in your 2004 are just as crappy as the ones in the 2003.  The head tick can also occur in the 2003 and 2004 Mach 1.  It also doesn't do anything to your motor... just really annoying.  It's also not a tell tale the car was beat on either, it can happen to anyone at anytime due to the flaws in the head.
