Don't really need it for towing already have a Diesel and a V-10 long bed crew cabs. This is a single cab to run around town that I might leave at the seasonal site.

With all the cam phaser issues I don't know if I could trust a used 5.4. I'm wondering about a rebuilt long block? Most of the used engines I see have high miles. I don't know what would be acceptable mileage on a used 5.4?

Make sure you get a 5.4 out of a superduty. No cam phasers to deal with.

Rock Auto has rebuilt 5.4's for about $2,600 ish after core charge.

Thanks!

Pick up a good used 5.4, drop it in and you're ready to go.

Perfect Fummins candidate! 12Valve/torqshift is a great combo.

Lol,
What Mark didn't tell you is that he helped design that transmission and is a valuable resource on the Ford forums.

Throw a V10 in that puppy while your at it! :B

Remove the radiator, shroud, and front cross brace and you will have plenty of room to remove the engine.
Don't know what your asking about the transmission.

Wasn't sure they put it behind the 5.4. I knew it was behind the Diesel and V-10.

Yes, it is a TorqShift transmission.
