5.4
Absolutely jbrew! Cant kill a 5.4.... Just turned 260k on old faithful today and cant bring myself to get rid of her...Been way to good to me...She's towed more and had more in the bed than a 150 EVER should have, and not one engine or tranny prob! plus it helps that i just installed a new pair of westin stainless steps and a gibson supertruck catback kit...

At 210K my '03 150 timing chain tensioner gave up, chain beat plastic rails until they broke and sent shrapnel thru the engine, cam jumped and bent a valve. Other than that engine was perfect, did not smoke, got 17 mpg.
My machinist has a '97 5.4 core he can build a long block for me. I am worried about parts from the 4.6 swapping to 5.4
Will the intake swap?
Will bolt-on items swap over?
Will a sensor detect the wrong engine and make things difficult?
Any mine fields I need to watch for?
What suggestions are there for increasing 5.4 HP if the swap will work?
Thank you.
