Hypothetically speaking, and I mean very hypothetical, if I wanted to eventually wind up with a f150 with a 4.9L engine, would it be easier to swap the engine into my truck which currently has the 5.0L, or would it be easier to look for a complete truck with the 4.9L? I ask because I'm worried about all the other stuff I'd have to switch if I kept my current truck but put in the 4.9L (radiator, trans, so on)

 

Easier to find another truck of course.

 

want to swap lol i got a l6 and was thinking of getting a 5.0 or even a 7.3l but would it be funner to swap the engines?

 

heh you tempt me, the swap would definitely be bigger on the "fun" factor lol how many miles on your engine?

 

just went over 130,009 today!

 

ah I got you beat then, 155ish here. they made extended cabs in this generation of trucks right???

 

yes they did but i dont think the l6 was an option for them

 

I've seen a couple on craigslist that are ext cab with the I6, but they're all down in tx or some such bs btw you wouldn't believe how many people will describe their engine as "it's an inline six cyl (v6)" rofl

 

yeah ive seen some funny descriptions on Craigslist perfect example 2009 Honda civic 78,000 miles runs and drives great just need a new transmission! LOL

 

I have a 92 extended cab with original i6. And the trans will bolt right up from your 5.0 to the 4.9. I did the swap from a 4.9 to the 5.0 in my 90 and kept the same trans. Rad is different tho
