Has anyone else tried or seen this swap done? I bought a wire harness from a place called the Detail Zone as painless doesn't do 4.6 wiring yet.
Just curious to see what others have done with these trucks

I completed the swap last fall and my old pickup runs great with that engine. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try it. The link 65F100 posted above was a brief write up I made on the swap as the projected started until the end. If you have any other questions let me know and I will do my best to answer them. Good luck on your swap and keep us posted on the progress you make with your project.
