different 4.6 engines, what is the difference?
Hello all,
I am in need of a new engine for my 1998 F150. The bad motor is the Windsor (VIN 6). I have many options with rebuilts, but I would like to know the difference between all other 4.6 liter Ford motors out there.
For instance can a 4.6 SOHC motor from a 2001 Crown Victoria fit in my F150?
Can this motor fit in my truck?

What needs to be exact for a match with my truck, year of the motor, vehicle origin, VIN code?
Thank you.

Thanks.

So if its 2001 and up, it's about a 75% chance it's PI. 2002+ all 4.6's were PI.

[QUOTE=cyman73]So can I use a 2002-05 4.6 motor in my 1998 F150?
1998 - 2003 5.4L or 4.6L
If you get a PI , it's to your benefit , but you will need a tune for it to rune correctly.
There 's a little more work in hooking a 5.4 up , but it's not bad..So you can consider both..
You have to make sure you get the whole motor - intake, everything..
Are the PI heads compatible with the non-PI head intake and exhaust manifold? no
