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

Don’t need to remove bolts from crossmember

You can get those bolts from bottom but yeah good video

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.

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

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 .

Is this your first one because you took off a lot of stuff 😢😢

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

Do you have to remove the torque converter bolts?

@@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/

Man I thought this was a good video 😢😢

Add the year to title dingus
