If you are hell bent on doing a swap/conversion figure out if you have the 2V or 3V 4.6. There is a considerable performance jump from the 2Vto the 3V engine. The swap is possibly but I would recommend buying a wrecked 3V truck or at least the front clip. I personally wouldn't waste my time or money to do it but it can be done.
The 5.4 is also a option but once again your going to need to find a wrecked truck from around the same year.
Forget about the EB, 5.0, and 6.2. You could probaly pay for half of a loaded 6.2 truck for what it would cost to swap every thing over
Now to OP:
Any street engine with a strait pipe sounds like poop to include the 4.6. And the EB has so many aftermarket exhaust systems you can surly find one that would make you happy. From softer then stock to stupid loud.

Sell it or trade it. Sorry but it's the truth. This is by far the best route.
