The 5.4 swap is a direct drop in, all you need is the adapter plates for the stock 4.6 intake and to widen the stock H-pipe a little. My friend and I dropped a 5.4 in his car and had it running in about 3 days with all the needed parts gathered in advance.

If you dont want to go with the adapter plates, which have had leaking problems in the past, they also make a whole manifold for it now that fits under the stock hood.
