I hope you haven't dropped English class, too.

 

Finish the payments first....it will free up a lot of cash.

 

No such thing as a 6.2 Ecoboost........

The days of backyard mechanics doing a simple engine swap are LONG gone. If you don't have a clue about about it, sell the truck and get one with a bigger engine - OR - start looking at power adding modifications for the 4.2.

Why can't you just enjoy your truck for what it is? It sounds like you may be very young and this is your first vehicle. Don't screw up your daily transportation.

 

GLC sure there is. put twin turbos on a 6.2 and you have made your very own 6.2 Ecoboost

 

not yet key words yet

and shifty i like that commint

 

thats what im doing once i pay the truck off then ill put the mony down on somthin or money into it is what i mean

 

An engine swap for your truck is not worth it though. A new engine, Tranny, rear end, driveshaft, transfer case if you want 4x4 and all the electrical upgrades and PCM just are not worth it. The cost for those parts alone plus some extra power could buy you a 2001 5.4 F150. It would just be cheaper/easier to get a 5.4L truck and live with it. Also, why did you buy the 4.2L if it didn't have the power you wanted? I spent an extra 7K or so just so I could have the options I wanted in my truck. The 4.6L was too much of a slug for me, so instead of buying it and then being without a vehicle while it got some upgrades, I got the 5.4, and now I have even more options that I wanted anyway.

Also, if you have to ask how to do an engine swap, you do not have the experience to do it. The engines of old could be done much easier than they can be done today with all the extra equipment and sensors and this and that. Let alone that this is an interference engine, so if you screw up the timing, you will be spending a lot more money than you can imagine to fix it plus pay for labor.

If your dead set on it for the computer/wiring you may look into a MegaSquirt system
