No, unfortunately. Lots and lots of changes occurred over those 14 years. The intake would have to be changed or extensive mods to the engine controls, EGR, etc. would have to be done, which also opens up the PI-head/nPI intake can o' worms. The oil pan would most likely have to be changed to accomodate fit in the frame. The valve cover bolt holes may or may not fit, dependent on which plant the engine was made in - a test fit would have to be done. Then the timing cover may not accept the power steering pump (check to see), the coil pack mounting brackets (again check to see), etc. And those are major issues that I can think of off the top of my head...more gremlins may be waiting...
How many miles on the 93 engine, and what kind of servicing was done? Maybe you could rebuild the whole thing, if it's worth it (probly at least $1,500 to do it halfway decent). With blue out of the exhaust, rings/pistons/cylinders could also be worn out.
Another option would be to find a 2000 or earlier engine (nPI heads which would be a more direct swap. Still some things to be done (reuse the 93 intake - direct bolt-up, I think), but much less extensive.

The early 4.6 is notorious for having valve stem seals fail by 100K or less... If it has high miles, you can bet they are bad which is causing the smoke and oil consumption...
My buddy that bought my '93 just replaced it's seals, smoke is history...

Yeah, its probably valve seals. Replacement seals are like $70 IIRC, and it would be a lot easier than trying to get a '07 motor to work (not to say it couldn't be done). Of course, inspect the engine to be sure its the valve seals first.
