98 f-150 2wd 5.4dohc swap

I know there a probly several threads here on this topic. I found an 01 Nav motor complete ready to drop in. Just looking for some guidance before starting this swap. Local yard quoted $1,400 for the motor and a used stock tranny to rebuild for the F150. What needs to be changed to make the swap work? The local yard has a very good rep and offers a warranty also. I have a set of headers for a 2V 5.4, will these work? I heard they had to be custom made. Thanks ahead for any info.

It can be done, but IMO, stick with the two valve. A used lightning or HD engine.

For prices in your area, use this site to locate an engine. Just type in your zip and the engine your looking for. The site will locate one for you close to home.

you'll need to do a COP setup, you can use the stock PCM, i have swap notes. I was going to do this to my truck, but never got to it. PM me your email and i'll send you the notes.
