lightning or HD engine in where a 4.6 was

I love my '03 s'crew lariat (4.6 2wd), but good lord! no power!
true duals = no change (though it does sound cool!)
K&N with tube = no change (though it sounds REALLY cool)
3.73 gears (in the TT package, factory)
Good lubricants
Has anyone done or heard of a Lightning or HD (blown) engine swap to the 4.6 space??
Supercharged or turboed a 4.6 and didn't have to walk home after sweeping up engine parts??
Thanks!

A 5.4 L or HD engine will bolt right in where your 4.6 used to live.
Be warned though, you need a ton of parts to make the swap apart from just the engine. Wiring harness, ECU, fuel pumps and relays etc etc.
Your best bet would probably be to trade the 4.6 against a Lightning or Harley unless you can get a really sweet deal on the parts.

Or put that blower kit on your 4.6.
