98 mark viii to 98' f150 motor swap
We decided it best to just pull ALL the wiring from the mk, and use it in the F150. I mean, dash gauges, a/c controls/radio, digital display, dash controls, dimmer switch, dome light, everything.
We'll just gut the F150 and use all mk's wiring. Figured this will eliminate any electrical/ECU/PATS issues.

At least you have the doner. - Makes it all possible.
Will the Marks ignition fit the 150 (switch) ? It should.
Interesting, cool!
Getting the dash and components (cluster and such) to fit, is the next hurdle.
I met at least 3 resellers that used eBay to make they're small fortunes. Cashed in. Purchasing from Craigslist, then reselling on eBay or Amazon. I now see how that can work.
Jbrew has showed me tough love multiple times! LMAO but i take his word as gold cause ive had a few failed attempts and he really knows his S*&t! He's my buddy no matter how much i screw up! LMFAO!
Thanks Blue. -Yea, I've been getting picked on lately. Darn Bully's! Twice now, I've had to go for long drives, listening to old Conway Twitty music in order to regain my abused confidence back. No respect, -I'm tellin yuh...
Quick update-week 3
So everything is set for the truck to roll in, gotta fab up some motor mounts, and maybe spice a few trans wires. Got the motor and the trans serviced and detailed. Pressure cleaned the F-150 top to bottom. Straightened up the shop, and did a tool inventory..Only lost about 10 snap-on's. FML

With turkey day coming, I don't expect to get alot done this week, but that's been said before and we got a ton done, so...we'll see.
Anyway here's some eye candy for ya'll.

Update
The holidays slowed progress some, but we got the thru firewall wiring done and about 80% of the behind dash ready for testing. Motor mounts are fighting me. Does anyone know a place that could custom make mounts for this application?








What do you mean by "provisions"?
It should fit. The 5.4 4v fits in the same hole in the Navigators/Blackwoods. You might need to get a different intake manifold tho.
I believe if you swap the upper part of the motor mounts it should drop right in. The 01/02 Cobra and Mach1 had the 4.6 4v with similar motor mounts to the F150
