4.6 to 5.4 2004 f-150

I'm thinking of doing a swap on a 2004. What would I need from a 5.4 donor for this swap? Any help would be greatly appreciated

as long as you use a 2 valve 5.4 you'll be fine with just the motor and the engine wiring harness if you can get it

So I wouldn't need the 5.4 computer? Just use everything that I have. So it would just be a plug and drive engine swap. What about the tranny it would be fine with the 5.4? Thanks

why is everyone so hung up on changing computers when changing motors???? it's the tranny that needs the ECM for than the motor, hence why you just get a tune

if you are switching from a 4r70 to a 4r100, or from a 4r100 to a 4r70 or from a manual to an automatic then yes you need the ecm, if not just have your existing ecm tuned
