[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2869769, member: 29706"] LOL Yep, with a few hours of prep work a nice big fancy lift and a whole bunch of people to help. The easiest engine swap I ever helped on was a 1957 Chevy Belair. The engine mount is bolted to the front of the block and pretty much just sits in place. You can crawl in and put the hood down on that thing and still work with room to spare. We pulled a 400 small block engine and trans out and dropped a 454 big block in it's place that was pulled from a 80's suburban. That still took the two of us about 6 hours not including pulling the engine and trans from the suburban. Well if you got it cheap and can find the parts out of a wrecked one it should be cool. I would honestly look for one of the 4.6L myself. Probably be a little nicer on gas when you stay off the pedal and still put down some tire marks when you want to. Plus the 5.4 only adds a few ponies over the 4.6 in most years [URL="http://www.f150hub.com/specs/ford-modular-specs.html"]Ford 4.6L & 5.4L Specs | Ford Modular V-8[/URL] But if you have the cash to pick up a crate engine one of the 5.0L Coyote engines would be the spot to hit right now unless you can get one of the factory supercharged versions cheap.
