‘03 Romeo to ‘03 Windsor swap. Do I need to change intake from Romeo motor?

My sons 03 f150 has a blown Romeo engine and I purchased an 03 Windsor motor out of a wrecked truck.
Will I be able to use the Windsor intake or will I need to switch out and use the Romeo intake considering the wiring and connections?
Going to do this as a weekend project with my son so I will be glad to hear as much advice or things to look out for from anyone willing to share. Thanks

Are they both 4.6, 5.4, or what?

To the best of my knowledge, it should be a direct swap as long as the "new" engine is out of a F-150. It wouldn't make sense to have different wiring harnesses for the same size engine in the same year truck.

The Romeo has a 6-bolt flywheel/flex plate and the Windsor has 8. This will only matter if the "new" engine didn't come with one.
