You will have lots of problems installing anything but the 5.4L, I voted 5.8L but only because I've heard of the problems that the 5.4L had iin early milage.
You must have alot of time and resources to repower a 99 with a different engine.
How do overcome the electronic trans and the OBDII computer? That , I think, will be your hardest challenge.
Good luck.
