Asked by GuruWN422 May 10, 2018 at 11:01 PM about the 2000 Ford F-150 XLT Extended Cab Stepside SB

Question type: Car Customization

I have a 2000 f150 with a 4.6L, I was looking for a
motor and found one from a 2009 also 4.6L. I was
wondering if it will fit my 2000 f150?

Don't do it. The newer engine would be a 3 valve and yours is 2. The cost and trouble to switch over the engine and all the controls would not be worth it and then you would probably have a transmission incompatibility issue.

The engine controls will not be compatible. The newer engine has variable cam timing in addition to an extra valve in each cylinder.

Your Answer:

F-150
