my 97 5.4 died can anyone help locate a motor

 

I think it's jbrew that knows a site that will search that for you. Maybe he will chime in.

Get one from 99+ (PI=more vroom vroom)
Trucks
97-98 = 235hp/335tq
99-03 = 260hp/350tq

 

Yea, glc has it above. Just use your zip code and they locate in your area. All in your area and provide phone numbers. I've always used them.

 

go with a PI

 

are there swap problems from a 97 to a newwer motor

 

No, not any problems, maybe a few minor parts that need to be swapped over. But no problems.

 

I hear its easier to lift the body from the frame to do the engine is true or is the garage trying to screw me . Also I would to thank everyone your awsome

 

its easier to do it that way if you have the stuff to remove the cab. I've seen ford techs say they can have the cab off in a half an hour. The engine can be R&Red without removing the cab. I did it that way in my back yard.
