IRF1404Z vs LRF1404

The IRF1404 is a more powerful MOSFET (333W vs. 200W) and has a higher rise time and more input capacitance.

So, if the drive circuit is not capable of driving these MOSFETs, you can’t use them.

If you want to use them, you’ll probably need to make some changes to the drive circuit.
My advice is to stick with the originals.
