5.4 sounds nice
Hello
I'm very convinced on sticking a 5.4 liter v8 out of a 2001 ford f-150 into my 1965 mercury. Main reason is fuel economy
and then cold weather starting. The reason for the post is to see if anybody has done a swap like this or similar. Also any comments or anything would be great. What is all in need to get it going. Motor mounts, x-member, computer, fuel pump and so-on. I just need to know how hard a swap like this would be. What about room in the engine compartment for the 5.4. Will there be enough room? I read that a 5.4 is a big engine, dimensions wise. 260 hp and 18 mpg hopefully gets the juices going.
Thanks

Hey Chad, May I suggest a different engine,

Garontee that will get your juices flowing. A friend on mine has that setup in his 65, 18-20 mpg and it hauls ice. His is strickly a driver, with a 8.8 from a Mountianer in the back.

Then you'll see which motor he's talking about. Of course the photos in that auction are blurry and suck.
