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. I should mention that I still have to rebuild the 4.9L and pay for that if I do.

seems a lot cheaper and simple to buy a truck with a 5.4 ?
