1999 4.6L swap or keep

I have the opportunity to buy a 99 f150 w/4.6L. I'm wondering about possibly swaping the 4.6 with a rebuilt 94 4.9L with the 5 spd manual trans, or should I leave the 4.6L. The only problem I know of with the 4.6 is the owner complains about not enough power. Is there any low cost fixes or upgrades to give the 4.6L more go. Also have to mention I still have to rebuild the 4.9 (280000 miles and still good) so still have to pay for the rebuild.
