I have a 98 f150 with the 5.4, and the ONLY think I dont like about it is the 5.4. Too many issues, underpowered, just sucks. But truck has good brakes (my 98 gmc sure didnt..scary), and is built very solid. Would be a great truck with a gm drivetrain but not even close to worth doing. You might find one person somewhere online that has done the swap, but it will be rare as it would a real pain and anything with a 5.4 is an old truck...not classic, just old.
