Default Motor swap

How difficult would a motor swap be in a 2011 f159 XLT? Looking to buy and swap a raptor 6.2 but not to sure if there's anything I should know about that would prevent this from happening?

dont know if it matters or not, but for starts, the 6.2 uses hydraulic (?) steering while the other engines have EPAS...

No offense, but if you have to ask this question it's probably going to cost you entirely too much money. If you have ever swapped different motor into a vehicle, you would know what I mean.

You need to be aware of wiring, motor mounts, fuel delivery, exhaust, and cooling differences prior to starting a swap. Figure your budget for the swap and then triple it.

Haha. Thanks for the advice. A trade in might just be in my future then

ecopat is right. The steering would be a mess to sort out and convert to hydraulic. It would be cheaper to just buy a used F150 with a 6.2.
