Other question is.. mustangs came with a 5.4 as well. My nephew suggested I look into getting something out of a wreck but again I'm not sure which years would be a match for the 04 f150.
Thanks for the input guys.. !

Ok so if I understand the posts.. I can do a direct swap up to a mid-08 5.4?

2004 Ford fx4
The motor on my 2004 fx4 3v 5.4 recently took a dump on me. I have called around to multiple salvages pricing a motor and they are saying only the 2004 motor will work no other years are a direct swap. I have found a 2010 3v 5.4 motor but am hesitant to purchase due to the conflicting answers. I am hoping someone can clear this up for me. Thank you!

Have questions
I have a 2004 F150 4x4 with the 5.4l 3v triton motor that needs replacing due to trusting a mechanic that said he could replace the plugs in it, and he wound up blowing my motor up. I was wondering if any other motor besides the triton motors will bolt up to the transmission in my truck. Am just considering all the possibilities before proceeding with spending the cash on a reman 5.4.

The engine purchase deal which I have the opportunity to make includes the motor, ECM computer, tranny, and transfer case, all together still bolted. Would this change your conclusion about not being able to use the transmission with the swap? Do you still think there would be some issues and would the wiring harness match up? Thank you so much for take the time to reply and help me out!!

I honestly don't know for sure, but I think there will definitely be wiring harness issues. There will be other issues being that you are crossing generations, the shift levers and mechanisms are different between the 4 speed and 6 speed, there is an additional lever position.

They are Champion and E3, both of which are garbage. The latest Motorcraft SP546 is fine, the weld is a lot stronger.
