Ford Repair: ford f-150 engine swap, ford f 150, suspension changes

Question
hi,

i just bought a 1998 f-150 with a 4.2l v6, and the motor is in peices, and rather then putting it back together i decided to put a new motor in it. i was wondering if it would be to much trouble to put a 4.6 or even possibly a 5.4. and i was wondering if it would be just a comoputer swap or if i would have to change out some crazy amount of wiring.

  Well you'll need more than just the computer, that's for sure.  There will need to be some wiring changes along with the necessary suspension changes.  Luckily your model F-150 came from the factory with those motors as options so you can get everything you need from another F-150 that had either one as original equipment.  It's not terribly difficult, but expect to put a few weekends into it if you've never done a motor swap before.  Hope this helps.
