motor swapping
I own a 1999 F250 Super Duty with the 5.4L. I got a rear seal gone and other problems that we have not been able to trace down. Its got almost 300,000km's on it and will cost over $2000 just for the rear seal, not counting finding the other problems. Don't like dealing with the shops in my town much as they dislike dealing with womend that know vehicles, they try to screw us over.
Now my questions is, I found a new motor out of a 2001 F250 that has 127, 349 km's on it in good condition. I have the equipment and friends that are willing to help do the swap. im wondering if it will just be a bolt in and plug in exact or if there is anything different I have to do.

There shouldn't be a whole lot of difference from 99 to 01 (none that couldn't be easily overcome, anyway).
One thing to look for is if either or both engines have EGR. I assume you'll be using the 99's PCM, right? If so, if the 99 has EGR, you'll want to carry that over to the new engine (likewise, if the 99 doesn't have EGR, you'll want to delete it off of the new engine). On the other hand, if they both have it (or they both don't), you're golden.
I don't think any of the connections to any sensors changed between 99 and 01, but if you find that one has, just remove the offending sensor and replace it with one from your 99.
One thing to double check is the two engine connectors in front of the left head- verify that the wire colors are all in the right places. Ford loves to change pin-outs for no apparent reason.
