2011 E250 Engine swap 4x4 conversion
Looking to upgrade my rig with an engine swap. Currently I have the wimpy 4.6l mated to a 4R75e and NP271 on a 2011 Ford E250, 4x4 converted. I found a 2010 E350 6.8l mated with a 5R110W, 160k miles for cheap.
This subject was brought up many time through my research but I am looking to confirm some of my findings and perhaps lacks of. I am a complete beginner in that matter. I am simply trying to get everything to go smooth for that project, avoid buying wrong parts, etc.
- As far as the swap goes, everything should physically fit. The swap would require the donor engine, transmission, engine harness, transmission harness, PCM/ECM, radiator/fan. Am I missing anything else?
- The 5R110W in the stock E350 is a 2WD version, which mean I would need to convert it to 4WD by replacing the output shaft and the tail housing so it can mate to the transfer case. Apparently a transmission rebuild is not necessary for swaping the output shaft, it can be slid in/out (parking brake sprawl might need to be messed around to make it work).
- Would my current NP271 transfer case mate to a 5R110W?
- If I were to get my hand on a bus/RV style van with the 6R140 transmission, would this also work?
- I have a lack of knowledge when it come to the ECM. When swapping over the engine/tranny and ECM, would there be any issues with the electronic. Like VIN numbers mismatching.
- I currently have a pirated version of ALLDATA to help me out but although there is tons of good information on it, is there any other source you would recommend?
- Which website are you recommending for part finders, exploded views... For example, I am having a hard time sometime to cross-reference parts with Ford SKU number system. Is the "NP271" the same as "BC34-FB thru FK"
Thanks a bunch
