Just finished my install 4.6 LONG BLOCK

Hello Guys and Gals,

Just finished my install of my 4.6/auto into my 98 F 150, as you see from my other post,i installed a 4 core radiator also, i went from a Rom to Wind 4.6 due to sparkles in the oil and very low compression, as before in the old engine...she dumping fuel...bad so i will have to figure it out with the help of everyones old post and old skool training. For a junkyard engine she turns over and runs just dumping fuel so i have to shut it down til i get all tests completed.
Ill included some pics, BTW the guy in the pic couldn't wait to get the transmission so i stud back annd let him do what he needed to do...besides it help me out a bit too... hey if u have and any questions let me know and i see if i can help out.

Glad engine swap went well.

Check the injectors themselves, might need them rebuilt. TPS maybe commanding too much, stuck open. FPR jammed.

You did it or it was when purchased?

Either way, sorry to hear. Consider a 5.4

I did it, im a kind of neat kind of guy and i hate dirt/oil, so i pressure washed the motor clean and didn't see the water in a spark plug hole (7) an bend the rod at start up....thump/thump/thump...... Crap
So i pulled it back out and started on the simi rebuild and added not only a new timing system but a Milings high flow pump.

I know the 5.4 is more power but im a truck driver and A class license and a lead foot don't mix.
Since i had the motor out, i desired



also to change to a 5 speed manual transmission since i really don't like automatics.

There more to come.
