Im installing a new 5.4 into my 98 and am haveing trouble attaching my engine lift so it pick the motor up level and still goes in far enough now my lift hits the top lip on the fire wall before the engine is in far enough

 

i think you have to take the cab off or at least jack it up

 

Take intake off motor is how I do it. Leave a Lot of chain where u can swing the motor hanging from the engine hoist. It helps to be able to swing the motor u can kinda guide it in just let it down slowly. I've done it a time er 2 lol

 

What you swapping out? I wish I could do this to my 4.2 but I think it'd be damn pricy.

 

Will a 2002 4.6 with highrise intake manifold work drop in, plug and play in a 97-98 that had a 4.6?

 

I have a 2009 4.6 3V motor with the 6 speed auto I'm thinking of installing in a 2001 F150 originally equipped with a 4.2 V6. Anybody have any experience with this swap?

 

I just swapped out a 5.4 that was knocking in the bottom end out for a good 5,4

 

How much are these installs running you guys?

 

I just bought a motor and supply's . Tranny fluid oil , oil filter, gaskets, spark plugs, power steering fluid, just the basics. I got my motor pretty cheap but I bought a whole truck to get it

 

Im in it 3000 for everything includimg the engine lift and some tools
