Yes. You literally swap your current engine and replace it with a 5.4L. Read up on the link Jack posted. You'll need more than just the engine for a 6er though...

good work intz.

You'll want the HPS intake (www.hiperformancesolutions.com/54.html) to clear the hood but otherwise it's a standard v8 swap.

Don't be lazy, read it. You will learn all that you need to know about the swap. Plus, any new developments (like headers).

great point. It's worth it to read it. Skip over the human interest posts and just read the tech.
