My suggestion is to go out to FordParts.com and look up your radiator. Get the part number and then look up the radiator for the 5.4 and 4.6. It also might make a difference if you have a automatic or manual transmission so check this out also.
I haven't bought a radiator for many years but as I recall the one I bought for my 1974 Oldsmobile about 30 years ago cost me less than $100. I would check it out on ebay or somewhere else on line and get a price before you go to the salvage yard.
