If you are really sick of your 5.4 I'd avise fixing the plugs....and sell it. You are almost always better off to sell what you have and buy what you want rather than doing any conversion. They almost always nickel and dime you to death, add a few more chapters to your personal profanity vocabulary, and take 3-4 times longer than your worst case estimate.

It sounds like you don't have a tremendous amount of aftermarket owrk in your truck which is good because it rarely adds much to the selling price. If you are uber attached to your tires and stereo, used factory style replacements could be easily found. Odds are those will be much easier to swap than your engine will be.
