hi all, newb here. i own a 2000 ford e-250 cargo with 5.4 with 160000 kms that run flawless ,but like every e-series van in Canada, it's rusting away.

my question is: there is a 2004 f-150 for sale neer my place with a seized motor, the truck is in great shape with 270000 kms on it and i would like to by it and drop my vans engine and tranny in it, the vans eigth digit is an L an the truck is a 5 on the vin, is it a lot of trouble or pretty straight foward. thanks for your answers.

 

2000 is a 2 valve..2004 would be 3 valve unless its a Heritage model ( old body style left over from 03 and sold as a 04) All electronics would have to be changed I would think.
I would think it would be cheaper to buy replacement motor to replace the seized engine.

 

Do you think you could trade the van for an '04 motor in good shape?

 

thanks for the help guys, but i decided to buy a 2006 black fx4 in excellent condition instead and will probably slap on a 3 inch lift and some bigger tires.i'llpost some pics as soon as i have it.
