Google around for the Non fouler spark plug 02 sensor. I am probably gonna do this again due to a very noisy/rattling convertor. I did it to one of my old 5.4 (2002) engines and I never had an issue with it. Easy to do, no codes, and it didn't change the way the engine ran either. I've never had a 2 valve 5.4 that got better than 15MPG anyhow but all I've ever had was 4x4 and crew cabs with 373 gears.

Get the O2 simulator. That way you wont get an engine light with a catalyst code.

There is a company in Canada (Free shipping) that sells cats for Ford trucks for around $400.00 from the engine back to the tailpipe and all hardware.
Check eBay I think is where I ordered a set from and they work so far the truck has not come back. (Been six months since I installed on the truck)
