I have just bought a 1998 ford f150 with a 4.6 winsor that the engine had blown in , with the deal i got a 2002 4.6 romeo engine and transmission out of a f150 that had been wreaked, and i wanted to know if there was any way of installing the romeo engine in the 98. i have bothe complete engines. any information would be helpful thank.

 

That swap is almost a no-brainer. You'll need to use the coil pack brackets and plug wires/coils setup from the '98 on the '02 engine,and most all of the wiring harness from the '98 will simply plug right in on the '02 engine. There are a few devices(DPFE,etc,etc)that may need to be swapped over to the '98 pieces,but it'll be just as easy as swapping in the same year engine.

hey thank JL, thats what i was thinking but i was told by a local shop that the engines would not interchange but every thing looked like it would bolt right up , i have already swap the injection system , the coil packs and a few of the other components like atlernater and ps pump , any way thanks for the info and have a good day buddy.

 

No problem,if you you get stuck-lemme know.

The maqin differences are number of flywheel bolts (Romeo has 6, Windsor has 8) and some minor valve train differences. Doing the complete swap is no big deal.
I would use the 02 intake since that engine has PI heads and the 98 does not.
