Converting a stock exhaust dump location to duals in front of the rear tire is as simple as swaping out the muffler with a S/I D/O muffler like a Magnaflow.
The stock L system is a D/I D/O muffler, which means you would have to cut the factory Y pipe out and have the pipes re-routed to the muffler, then install the muffler.
Cost wise it might be easier to get the S/I - D/O muffler and go from there. If you have a standard cab ./ short bed truck, the factory Y pipe conversion would have to be dead nuts on to line up to the stock L pipe, as there is not much room for error in that short of a distance.
Take a look through the MagnaFlow site for a S/I D/O muffler, or just call Mike Troyer and ask him his thoughts on the subject.
I don't see why the D/O would be a problem on the 4.2, but asking him might be in order. His prices are inline with the other online muffler sites, and he keeps the site running as a supporting vendor. I find he is always within 10.00 of any where else, and he is a joy to work with. Loves his Ford's and will talk you through anything, from the muffler to electric fans, to trans kit options, to tunes on a MicroTunner or Chip.
Good Luck,
