Can a person purchase a 4.6 or 5.4 crate engine from ford?

 

I would think so, they are still in production.

 

To further our moderator's reply....I just talked to a Ford Truck dealership and inquired more about this. As an example, 1999 Expy engine without labor:

4.6 liter = US$3,600
5.4 liter = US$3,900

warranty is 3 years 36,000 miles. I would have Ford install the engine so that if the engine goes bad they would replace it if still under warranty. Ford says that if you have someone else install the engine and worse case the engine is bad, Ford will replace the engine for free BUT you will have to pay for labor since you had someone else install the engine.

I hope I made sense...too early and need coffee.

Thanks for the intel Dan.

 

Are those rebuilt or new? I'm just wondering if a person were to want to put a newer engine in a older truck that one would be available.

 

Hi,

to the best of my knowledge Ford does not sell brand new engines on the 4.6 nor the 5.4. At least that's what my friend at the dealership parts tells me. Sorry but I can't help you in your endeavor to try to put a newer engine in an older truck, I'm not that mechanically inclined

Drive Safe,

you can upgrade ........the easy way would be to buy a wrecked low mile truck , then you would have everything needed to make the conversion , ive seen a 70's ford running a 95 5.0 , the guy who owned it said the most difficult thing about doing the conversion was mounting all the misc. hard ware.he used the eng. trans.and rearend. he paid about $3000 for the totaled 95 w/45,000 miles onit and sold the left overs $1000+. says it runs great, he might be a member here at FTE

 

I talked to my dealer the other day. For a new 5.4 (not rebuilt) which includes new; exhaust manifolds, crankshaft,camshaft,alternator,oil pump,water pump,pistons,intake manifold,injectors,spark plugs/wires, and everything else. They stressed that nothing is rebuilt, but brand spanking NEW. I was told by an after market dealer that it would be the newer version of the engine with the improved intake. The price was $4076.54 and $1602.00 for installation. This is Canadian dollars !!! I also priced out to get my 97 rebuilt, and all came in at the same price as the new one from ford.

 

I'am just curious, who is the after market dealer you mentioned? I would like to contact them and check this out.

 

I have a 97 f-150 with the 4.6 that i blew the motor in and i researched a little bit and found a place down south that sells a 4.6 crate motor. it is called Jasper engines. very helpful 3 year 75,000 mile warranty with free shipping and core pick up for $2600. good people good product.

 

Check out karcraft.com. They have low mileage 4.6's and 5.4's all the time at a fraction of the cost.

 

can one put a navigator engine in a expy with a 5.4?

or would the power rip up the tranny?

 

not sure you might post that question i'm sure a lot of ppeople wouls have the answere.

 

yeh for doesnt sell refurbs unless u ask for them. and refurbs ford sells they offer 10,000 mile warranty max if u want a brand new lightning 5.4L 3V engine with supercharger and the computers u need its 5,800 is the price i could get it through my father but he gets a heft discount since he works for ford and all

 

Totally NOT true...my local Ford dealer has quoted me a REMAN 5.4 (new parts in recycled block) for $2840.00 with 3 year/36k mile warranty. I threw a piston through the side of my 5.4 (Expy) a few weeks ago and have been checking out different engine sources. They came down from $3454.00 when I told them Karkraft would sell me the same engine for $2980.00. To my knowledge, Ford does NOT sell brand new 5.4's that will work in my 98 Expy...the newer generation of 5.4 is different and will not work with my ECM and wiring and probably not accessories either.
