I have a 2002 f150 4.6 v8 4×4 can I put a 4.2 v6 standard transmission in it if I am converting it

 

NOPE. The bellhousing bolt patterns are completely different.

 

I was going to suggest that they might have an adapter, but I looked around a bit, and there's apparently not enough demand for one like that.

To clarify here. Ford sold a 4.6 mated to the m5odr2 with the same bellhousing as the 4.2l. it's more than possible. Personally everyone likes the Windsor but look at the Romeo 4.6. 6 bolt crank. Everybody gets caught up on this that and modules. I swapped my 02 out with a 94 4.6 sohc Romeo from a Thunderbird. Mated to my Toyo m5r2 all the trouble was changing mounts over and adding the 2 extra injector pigtails. Stock engine. And it's a constant reminder of why they made the right call killing the 5.0 mustangs in 95. I'm no master tech or guru. I'm a 28 yr old kid who turned a 36k mile 4.0 sohc 2wd automatic explorer around from saving it off a hook for free to run a 13.2@ 120mph pegging limiter on 28$ at pull a part in a 2hr afternoon. I've never been told not possible and not proved that no wrong with a ford vehicle.
