Personally I would go for a 2000-04 range 2V V10 for the PI heads. The biggest issue I could think of with different years of engines is bolt on accessories sutch as if you have an EGR valve vs the newer Engine w/o but everything can be moved to the new engine if needed.

If you're swapping out the long block only the year is slightly less particular assuming you stay with the 2 valve heads---vans never received the 3 valve Modular Motors.
Because your ECM is year specific along with engine sensors and all engine management wiring all of that stays in place.
If you order the long block from Ford they'll provide the right piece, its up to the installer to use the appropriate sensors for the ECM's strategies and chassis wiring.

If you want complete plug-an-play, get an E-series engine from 1997 through 1999
Oil filter adapter, and I think the oil pan are different between E-series and F-series.
Also, the 97-99 use non-PI heads, and some of the electronics and EGR systems are not the same as the 2000+ F-series.
If you wanted a performance boost, yes, any 2000-2004 V10 from an F-series, up to 2005 Excursion, or 2000+ E-series, if you're willing to swap some parts from the old engine like the oil filter adapter and oil pan/oil pickup. Beware, you'll lose the EGR unless you find a California (not Federal) version from an F-series, and you'll need to get a tune or use the PCM and wiring harness from the donor vehicle.
Hope that helps...

Forum members have recommend buying a Motorcraft Remanufactured engine. Sound like a good idea to me. I called my local Ford dealer and got an MSRP + core price. Does anyone on this forum have any connections that could help me source a new engine at a better price?

I'm going with the Motorcraft crate engine. Since the vehicle has 143,000 mile on it I think I should replace a few of the serviceable parts on the engine while I have it out. All the hoses, pulleys, serpentine belt, A/C compressor, condenser, alternator, water pump, radiator, are original parts. I have heard of an engine swap kit that supplies many of those part but don't know where to buy yet.
