4.2 to 4.6 engine swap
Hi,
As you all probably know from reading my post on the transmission that I needed to get it rebuilt. Anyways, I have a general question about swapping my engine from a 4.2 to a 4.6. How hard would it be to swap? I have read on Ford Truck Enthusiast, another forum that I am a member of, that my 4R70W tranny is different from the 4R70W used on a V8. Would the bolt pattern be different? I have read that the tranny used on the V6 is one to avoid. I was just wondering what the process would be if my current engine dies later on down the road.
Thanks,
Chris
