trying to find the best engine i could put in my 99 f150. anybody know the best engine that will fit

 

Why ? What do you have in there now - need more info.

 

A 5.4 DOHC out of a Navigator. Do a search here about it.

 

I would say a 5.0 v8 good power,and torque cheap prices for used 5.0 and they last forever.




Just my 2 cents

 

I would just get a 5.4 reman motor. Its the one most likely to give the fewest problems. Changing to another engine really isn't cost effective.

 

I have seen a lot of people with reman prob's. Find a wrecked one out of a yard. Ford did it right the first time. there good for at least 200,000.

 

Yeah , I'm curious as to what it is that usually gets missed when rebuilding these Modulars . Are the tolerances just that tight and unforgiving.

I haven't heard of any success stories in the this forum - not that I can think of. I know Jasper even screwed a few up - I read that they wasted two in a row before getting it right with one of these

Hell it would take me a year to rebuild one myself - I would be so freakin paranoid, I missed something. The problems Neal had his builder - The guy had to be somewhat reputable for Neal to give him a shot at it .

Then you here of people trying to do it with Mr Haynes help - or Misses Chiltons and totally F it up somehow and haven't a clue.

Is there anyone but Ford really good at this?

I think I 'de rather find me a old Model A to revamp - I should be safe there..
