1997 4.6 swap for a 2005 5.4 possible?
friends:
I have a 97 f150 XLT extended cab 2X4 with a 4.6, anutomatic trans and 81K miles that just gave up on me. The #1 cylinder is not firing and the #2 has little compression. I have lifter tick and very slight lower end knock. Engine runs and will idle though.
A guy down the block has an accident totaled (drivers side) 2005 F150 2X4 with a 5.4 and automatic - runs fine - wants 600 bucks - Is this swap possible? If so, easy or hard? Major modifications required? Is it a bolt right in?
your answers and advice greatly appreciated.

There are no lifters in a 4.6 SOHC, the cam accuates the valves, no push rods, no lifters, and no rockers. Replacing the coil pack will probably cure the dead #1.
The 5.4 should bolt in, I cant remember if its in the same block family group with the 4.6's, do some research on that one.
The wiring might pose a problem.
