What about a set of longtubes? Would it be worth it to install while the engine is out? I'm not even sure if they engine could be installed with a set of longtubes attached, might not be enough room.


Also adding to the list new coolant hoses and motor mounts.

 

I thought in 04 these motors changed to a 3v???

 

For the "new" F150 they did, but the Heritage F150 and F250 (and 350 I believe) was still the 2v.

 

I know the answer has many variables, but what are the going prices for a used 2V 5.4l triton engine? Say with 100,000 miles on it? I might be looking for one in Southern WI soon.

 

Anywhere from $2000, from LKQ, or $800-1800 through a junkyard.

To the OP, replace spark plugs, exhaust manifolds, gaskets, water pump, and timing chains.

 

I picked this guy up for $600. Complete from oil pan to intake, ac compressor, alternator, etc. 120k miles.

 

Sounds like you did good Johnny, good luck with it.

 

I have an 03 F150 Supercrew with 140,000 miles on it and the head gasket started leaking. I purchased a 5.4 from a 2003 F250, No intake was included, will mine from my 2003 F150 5.4 interchange? I did notice that the F250 5.4 has a block heater, and engine oil cooler and the filter mounts much further to the rear than my F150. I am planning on doing the filter relocation while swapping the engine, so will be removing the F250 filter/coolant inlet housing and installing the one from my engine. Anyone aware of any difficulties I might have in this swap? Are the flexplates the same? Both trucks have automatic transmissions.
