I bought my 4.6 engine for $5k shipped from California. The cost of the swap was around $4,700.

For $10k and some patience you can buy another 4.6is.

Now,the cost of a well running 4.4 is about a grand. I've heard of people salvaging the 4.6 heads and cams to turm the 4.4 into a 4.6. You save about $4k that way. This guy went the opposite way and used the 4.4 heads on a 4.6 block:
