Hey guys I'm wanting to swap my 4.2 v6 with a 5.4 v8 and was wondering what's all of the parts I'll need to do the swap I'm also wanting to do a 4x4 sas and was wanting some more info on that too. Any info is greatly appreciated

Make sure you love the truck bc you will never get that money back if you sell it

I think it would be cheaper to sell your truck and buy one with the 5.4 then do a SAS

Maybe add a disclaimer greenie *** to all who read; he doesn't want to sell his truck, he wants info on a swap. His thread is not about selling or opinions to sell he just wants help on learning what he needs for a swap. Answer his questions or politely leave***

It takes alot. wiring harness's, repinning connector, Engine, trans, pcm, manual tcase, custom driveshafts, and a lot of fab work.

Right that swap is definitely ridicules,- once you figure what you need to do to make it happen. Two totally different Ford platforms Essex vs Modular.

Better off brooming the truck w/4.2L for one with a V8. Even if you end up with one with a 4six, you can bump it up to 5four easily and much cheaper.

That's some info on the motor swap anyway.

Actually, I don't know anyone who finished a swap like that successfully. However, I do know that some have attempted it...never finishing or just quit posting.
