The auction is for a 1998 4.2L F-150, but this is not a 4.2L engine and the auction doesn't indicate that the engine was ever replaced. Looks like a V-8, but I can't tell what it's from. The VIN is consistent with a 1998 4.2L F-150.

It's a modular mustang motor. Look at the pony emblem.

 

Yep. Looks like he made a mistake on the photos. He's also selling a white '98 GT. I really hope that no one bids under the impression that they get this beautiful engine, instead of the 4.2L. The shock mounts don't match an F-150, nor does the size of the fender.

Too bad.....
