Would it be possible to use the 5.4 off of a 2004 fx4 and put it into my vehicle

 

With enough skill, know-how and available tools + equipment any motor swap is possible.

 

but it wouldnt be a simple swap?

 

no, it would not be a simple swap. your engine is set up for 2 valve heads, while the newer 5.4 is a 3 valve. it is not a simple, easy swap.

 

what motor did you have in your 01, and yea itll be a easy swap if you get the right wires and all that stuff, just know what your doin some guy on here did a triton v10 into a f150

 

i have the 5.4 as well bt its wearing out and im getting a good deal on a 5.4 wit 25k miles

 

you'll need more than just the engine, you'll probably need a new harness, and perhaps a new pcm as well. btw, the guy who swapped in a v10 into his F-150 is a Ford Tech, and had to use a whole load of superduty parts in order to get his truck working properly. in the end, you may find it to be cheaper to drop another 2v 5.4, and bolt ons to upgrade your hp.

 

hey man all i said is it was done, didnt say how much of a pain it was, it was just done, yea a older 2v 5.4 will be eaiser than the new 3v 5.4 because its ment for that truck but its still possible and if hes gettin a good deal on a new 3v then why not do that and get the new wires and all that other stuff

 

well im getting the 3v 5.4 for 800 with 25k miles

 

buy that s.o.b dude you cant beat that deal that motors worth a few hundred more, if i ever came across that deal id buy it right then

 

screw it i'll buy it and swap it, my engine has water damage

 

thats what i wanted to hear man good luck

 

Not likely.

No motor swap is simple.

Motor swaps always take longer than planned, there are always problems and hang-ups of some kind that come up and things never go 100% according to plan.

Never take on a motor swap thinking it will be simple.

 

i didnt mean simple as in drop and go but simple as not needing a lot of accessories

 

The '04 swap has been done and this is a detailed thread about it:
