V10 swap
Good morning and I hope I posted this in the right place.
I have a 2005 e450 v10 the body is chopped up
and I have my 2005 f250 with the 5.4
Cab i swap the 2v v10 out of the E450into the F250?
Both are 2wd if that matters and I would be taking the v10 trans because it is beefier.

There shouldn't be a problem, maybe have to move the motor mounts, not really certain, but I believe you'll need to take the ECM and associated wiring from the van over to the F250. I'm sure the ones with more knowledge will chime in soon.

Thanks for your input I’ve been away because I’ve been pulling the bus apart, motor “should be out tomorrow” who knows the weather might kill it. So far everything looks straight forward, my only concern is the pcm working, seeing that the 05 came with a 3 valve, Being that it’s going from a bus to a truck. I guess we shall see..

Just to satisfy my curiosity what difference does it make if the PCM came out of the van? You'd be using the drivetrain and wiring harness from the van too so???

so I don’t know if the pcm is configured differently for the van/bus platform or if it isn’t. If it isn’t different (which no has provided evidence for) then that’s that and it will run. I was just asking if it was setup different. Judging by your reaction it should be fine.

I wish it was that easy to put a 6R140 in a 2001 F250. Wrenches would be turning!

Thank you it does.
And thank you
$500 upgrade vs trying to sell a 5.4 truck that everyone knows the phasers will fail and kill the motor, I don’t mind the labor and I enjoy seeing my work come to fruition. Most v10s I see are going for 6-8k. the 5.4 truck and v10 drivetrain were less than 2k. So if I make it work and use it for another 100k miles or sell it to make a little money it doesn’t bother me.

Because sometimes you can't afford to buy a new vehicle, but you do have enough stuff behind the barn to maybe bolt together a working vehicle.
