A stock crate motor would run about 3k. Any year would do, unless you get your hands on a double over head cam 4.6. In which case you should call me and I'll trade you my 4.6 for it.

As always, check ebay for a good deal on a engine.

4.6L to a 5.4L swap

i have a similar problem. i had the radiator replaced and when the 'mechanic' replaced it, he refilled it with water instead of antifreeze. When i had the rear end of my truck replaced the truck sat at my house. During that period it froze. Now i have a 4.6l with a cracked block. Could i upgrade to a 5.4L? and if i did what all would i have to upgrade as well? Any info would be great, thanks -david

You would atleast need a new computer to go with it. I would stick with a 4.6 and check ebay.

remember the 5.4 only came with auto transmissions, but the 4.6 did have both manual & auto...so if your truck is auto it should be ok

The 5.4 will work...but as mentioned, automatic. And you will have to get a few extras to go with it like the puter.
