Ok, tried to put the new motor in today, and just nothing at all wanted to line up, I could get one mount in, then the trans and other mount won't line up. It seems like the trans is too low, but I jack up the trans and I get about half inch until it hits the firewall, no help there, I've triedjust about eeverything I could think of and nothing seems to be working.

 

Nobody?

 

Is it the same engine or same size?

 

Year make and model of truck and year make model of truck motor came out of.

I pulled and reinstalled my motor in 9hrs. Everything bolted up with no issues. Both where 03s.

They're both 5.4s. The replacement engine came out of a 2000 expedition and its going in my 2000 f150

 

both 4wd?, do the engines look identical?

 

Yes both 4wd. They are the same size

 

yea thats weird

 

Yea thanks.

 

I suggest making sure the trans mounts in the same spot

This may help.
