5.4 swap wouldn't be difficult. Get it with the harness. Don't need to change the tranny or transfer case. ECU has to be programmed, but you'll reuse your original. Try to get the 5.4 with exhaust manifolds and all sensors if you can. May have to get some exhaust work done.

I would suggest calling MPT(More Power Tuning) and purchasing a SCT tuner from them. They'll give you 3 custom tunes to suit your needs. Running one on mine & I love it.
