governed or something else?
did an engine swap after overheating the engine with only 78k miles on it. it had a governed speed of 100mph. swapped that engine for exact engine (4.0 6cyl ohv) but it was a 98 and mine was 99. now here is the problem i am having, at exactly 2900 rpm's i get major cut out like it has a governor on the rpms versus my speed. it will do this in all but 1st gear and i can rev it past the cutting out but like when i am in 5th and i let the rpms come back down below 3000 to slow down the cutting out kicks in again until it goes below the 2900 rpm thing. is this normal or what the **** is going on.

The computer is different. You need that computer and take it to ford and tell them what you did. Drive it with your computer in it, go to the dealership and swap to the other computer and go in and tell them what you're doing, what you've done and what problems you're having right now.
That's what I had to do. I know PATS wasn't introduced until 2001, but I have a feeling it has something to do with the computer and knowing they're not the same motors.

Each engine is like a person. They are all a little different, and each engine will come with its on serial code. There is a possibility that the computer is not reading properly, and is inducing the rev limiter as a sort of fail safe.

Hmm.... Try taking it to the stealership... It'll be a flat fee off the bat of $90 but they will be able to tell you what's going on, what's not working with the rest of the truck, what you need to do, what codes you're throwing if you're throwing any at all, etc...
That's my best guess so far. Go from there.
