swap 5.4 from Expy to SD

Has anybody swapped a 5.4 out of a 2000 Expedition into a 99 F 250 Super Duty? The engine in the SD seized and this is the closest replacement engine we can find. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

B.

What engine is in the 99 SD?

It is a 5.4 l that came as original equipment. The question is if these engines are interchangable. Would it be an easy swap for a backyard mechanic,

I don't have any experience with the newer vehicles or the 5.4, but it sounds like they are the same motor and should be an easy swap.

I believe this is probably true. We're going to try it . It should be the same basic block and we can swap the electronics to the donor engine if necessary.

Thanks for your input,

Considering that both are relatively new motors, I doubt you would even need be concerned with the electrinics swap. I'm "guessin" this will be a direct move of the block and you are set to go...

Good luck
