Question stx upgrade to 5.4L?

Would it be possible to take my 4.6L engine out and get a 5.4L to replace it?
What other components would need to be changed?

pcm
harness
motor mounts
transmission
driveshaft
rear axle


to be honest though, the 4.6 tranny will bolt right up to a 5.4...just won't last as long with the difference in TQ. Same with the rear axle. 4.6 has a 8.8, 5.4 has a 9.75 axle



have you considered upgrading to another truck? in 2007 Ford offered the STX with the 5.4...but pulled that option for the 2008 models.
