What motor would that be?

V6, V8 modular, oil burner?

Those will all fit, making them work is another story.

According to the owner is a 2008 and it's an E350 and everybody I've talked to otherwise mentioned that has a 460 in it.
It's been setting for 10 years loving started hopefully it didn't destroy it trying to get it for a cheap price don't want the body just want the motor.
Thanks for the info 👍👍

if it has the stock motor, it would be either the 5.4, the 6.8 V10, or the 6.0 powerstroke. I believe the last year for a 460 in an E-series was 1996. 1998 in the F-series.

It can all be made to fit. The driveshaft will need to be shortened or lengthened and you may need to run a conversion u joint at the rear end.

​​​​​Are doing an engine swap for more power and overdrive? I assume the vans transmission will need to be controlled by a computer. So that will have to be worked out if you use it all.

What motor do you have now? You may need an engine adapter to run your current transmission with the van motor.
