6.2L or 5.0L in a 4.6L
So awhile ago my 07 f150 blew up and I've been looking for a new engine to put in it and I was wondering if it would be at all possible to drop a 6.2 from a raptor in where the 4.6 sat? I know it would need special mounts and how would the wiring harnesses hook up? Also I was thinking how would the tranny bolt up would the holes match? But if that didn't work would the 5.0 work because it goes in f150 and it should mount closer right? Please help

What everyone is trying to say is that it would take cubic dollars to fit a 5L or 6.2L into the truck. You'd need the ECU, tranny, mounts, etc from a donor truck, but the ECU wouldn't work with the body control module in your current truck.
It would be a nightmare.

With the amount of money involved, I would just say goodbye to your '07 and pick up another one for the amount of money you'd have to invest to get a new engine installed... unless you have a ton of time, patience, and such to do it yourself.

My experience is if you ave to ask these types of questions and you have not researched anywhere before asking, then you have no clue or ability to do the swap. Can it be done? Yes, but probably would cost close to that of a truck with the engine of your choice installed in it already (09-14). Sell the 07 and use the funds toward a new truck, or drop in a 5.4 with a procharger on it and be money ahead.

The answer is no. If you want it to drive again, put back in the same motor you have.
If you want more power, take the motor you have to an engine builder with the power adder of choice already selected. Tell them what you're doing. They'll rebuild it accordingly. Plan on spending $4-5K on the motor for 450 to the tires. The easiest blower to do this with is the whipple. Plan on another 5-6K installed for the whipple.
If you can replace the motor yourself, you can get out of this project for 10K at a minimum.
Remember to budget for custom tuning. I would find a shop first, and let them select the fuel system, MAF, etc -- then when you get them to tune it, they're not working with alot of unknowns.
OR
Find a $3K reman motor, DIY the swap, and drive on down the road.
