f150 engine

What is the average cost of pulling and installing a 5.4 engine?

I’m not a mechanic but I’ve replaced 3 engines in f-250s myself and also paid to have a k2500 engine swapped. You are probably looking at 2k to 5k. It really depends if everything is there and if anything else needs replaced or gets broken.

The $$$ adds up quick on engine swaps and/or rebuilds

Ok thanks

Id go to a 5.0 or 4.6 before I put another 5.4 in it.

I know it won’t help but my father in law just put a v8 back in his suburban. Bought a rebuild from Chevy and we put it in. With my labor cuz he is my boss and one other guy he had about 3900 in it. Hope it helps and gives an idea

Churly, curious about your opinion of the 5.4. When I bought my F150 everyone online said I’d regret the 4.6. What are your criticisms of the 5.4?

The plug issue ( their plugs get so carboned that they break when you try to change them). very common issue, google it. Also, the fuel mileage is a joke.
