Go with a 99+ preferably 01 and up. Any of the 96 and up engines would work but the 01's would have less miles, improved crossover on the intake manifold.

94-95 wouild be 5.0 engines which is doable too but good luck finding one with low miles.

Welcome to the site.
You can use a 98 or later engine/trans w/o major modifications
I recommend using the seach feature to research your project, there are many threads and options on the subject
Good luck.

definitely go with a 99+ 4.6, you'll start off with more power than your stock 98 4.6L and it is pretty much a direct swap
