No problem. It's a direct swap, so it's basically:

1. Disconnect everything-have a beer
2. Take out with engine hoist-have a beer
3. Have a beer- why not 2?
4. Drop new engine in- have a beer
5. Re connect everything- have a beer
6. Have another beer.- hell, just get a keg!
Fixed!

Swap it to what? Are you putting another 4.6 engine in? If it's just a new engine and the same PI 4.6, I'd say a day if you have a decent idea what you're doing.
Yeah, you could do it in a day if you know what you're doing. A tip here: Pull it with the transmission, it makes getting at the top starter boltMUCH easier. Plus you can easily change the clutch/pilot bearing if you decide to. One bolt on the powersteering pump is aPITA too, just requires some patience.

It took a friend and I 6.5 hours start to finish. We pulled the tranny with it too.
