You re welcome buddy, that is a great feeling, I remember when I did my first and the excitement never stopped at every next swap. Don’t hesitate to ask if you run into any issues
There is only one bolt on the driver side , the front drive shaft have to be removed for access, the passenger side are 2 nuts and their studs are just part of the passenger side engine mount
That would not be wise of a swap , definitely agreed with you. Sorry about the way I titled the video I meant both engines pulling are the same procedures .
@@loverboyken2860 the are many differences between 4.6 and 5.4 that will make the swap a challenge, I know that the flex plate will need to be replaced, you will have to replace the ecm but on a 2007 there are so many other harness envolved that may be different. It is possible swap but I don’t know if it is worth the headache. I was curious myself if there are other differences I looked on a forum and I did not know that the exhaust manifold are not gonna line up with the exhaust. Here is the link I found: www.f150forum.com/f11/4-6-5-4-swap-21764/
@@loverboyken2860 that swap is more straight forward. A 2v to 2v swap is like a 302 to 351w swap The 3v has different electronics and makes it more tricky.
I swapped tons of engines but honestly I’m the kind of mechanic that will pull extra to make the job easier, I would have pulled the cab if I did have a 2 pole lift
Thank you for this video. I will be swapping a 4.6. It will be my first engine swap. Im very excited!

what did you have to do for the exhaust? do the manifolds line up with the downpipe?
Yes they do line up , you may wanna make sure they are lined up right before completely dropping the engine on its own weight.
Don’t need to remove bolts from crossmember
You can get those bolts from bottom but yeah good video
Thank you
How on earth did you get the motor mount bolts out
There is only one bolt on the driver side , the front drive shaft have to be removed for access, the passenger side are 2 nuts and their studs are just part of the passenger side engine mount
Why the heck would anyone swap to a 5.4. Just stick with a 4.6

what year 5.4?
That is a 2008 , the reason I did not put the year , it is the same process for many years in the 2000s
last question could i take a 2000-03 5.4 and swap with my 2007 4.6?@@WheelersHoarder

What year was the f150?
This one is 2008, I assume all the 4.6 and 5.4 on that body style are the same
Is this your first one because you took off a lot of stuff 😢😢

Add the year to title dingus
Thank you for the feedback, will do so
Man I thought this was a good video 😢😢
Do you have to remove the torque converter bolts?
Yes they need to be removed, from the bottom it is not that bad
