F150 4.6 and 5.4 engine swap guide 

You re welcome buddy, that is a great feeling, I remember when I did my first and the excitement never stopped at every next swap. Don’t hesitate to ask if you run into any issues

Yes they do line up , you may wanna make sure they are lined up right before completely dropping the engine on its own weight.

There is only one bolt on the driver side , the front drive shaft have to be removed for access, the passenger side are 2 nuts and their studs are just part of the passenger side engine mount

That is a 2008 , the reason I did not put the year , it is the same process for many years in the 2000s

last question could i take a 2000-03 5.4 and swap with my 2007 4.6?@@WheelersHoarder

@@loverboyken2860 the are many differences between 4.6 and 5.4 that will make the swap a challenge, I know that the flex plate will need to be replaced, you will have to replace the ecm but on a 2007 there are so many other harness envolved that may be different. It is possible swap but I don’t know if it is worth the headache. I was curious myself if there are other differences I looked on a forum and I did not know that the exhaust manifold are not gonna line up with the exhaust. Here is the link I found: www.f150forum.com/f11/4-6-5-4-swap-21764/

​@@loverboyken2860 that swap is more straight forward. A 2v to 2v swap is like a 302 to 351w swap The 3v has different electronics and makes it more tricky.

This one is 2008, I assume all the 4.6 and 5.4 on that body style are the same

Thank you

That would not be wise of a swap , definitely agreed with you. Sorry about the way I titled the video I meant both engines pulling are the same procedures .

I swapped tons of engines but honestly I’m the kind of mechanic that will pull extra to make the job easier, I would have pulled the cab if I did have a 2 pole lift

Yes they need to be removed, from the bottom it is not that bad

Thank you for the feedback, will do so
