5R110 Help

I have a 2005 F-250 xl with a 5.4L with a auto tranny 5R110. Engine needs to be rebuilt but I have no faith in these engines. My question is will a 4.6L bolt up to my tranny and has anyone done it yet? Looking forward to feedback.

Yes but if you want more durability go with a non-VCT Windsor 2V or a 3V V10. Appropriate wiring harness of course.

What makes you have faith in a 4.6L over the 5.4L? What killed your original engine?

Likely the VCT.

Here on the island 5 out of 6 5.4L have had a lot of problems. The 4.6L having been holding up pretty good and a friend of mine has one I can get for couple of bucks. So I was just checking to see if it can bolt up to the 5R110 tranny. Any other ford motors that can bolt up?

I believe a 4.6L engine would bolt up to the 5R110, but it will feel badly underpowered in something as heavy as a Super Duty.
