heres a link to the motor i called and purchased direct and he removed it from ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
ok so should i assume this is a direct bolt in to my 2002 f-150 4x4 4.6?
is the harness the same?
i am really interested in whats brock in my engine i cant wait to tear it down i had a ticking or rapping for the past month or 2 and all of a sudden lost oil pressure and started knocking real bad in about a 1 minute period as i pulled over, so now the truck has 117,000 miles 15,000 on the tranny and soon 5,000 on the motor i guess its a new truck, should i change the exhaust,any recomendations? how about any power upgrades are there any recomended with this EXPEDITION motor, it is a w code romeo, so does it have th PI heads?
just rambaling some questions

I would relax, at least for the time being. The picture may be a 5.4, but a picture is just a picture. What you actually ordered most likely will be correct. They probably just took a snap shot of a motor they had and use it generically if they actually do alot of business. My experience has been that most people on eBay are honest, straight-forward, people trying to peddle their wares. Of course, the buyer should always beware...
Just my two cents,
