I work at a Ford dealership and priced one today for the same vehicle. The engine assembly is $4600 and comes with most everything except the fuel system parts and the coils. 24 month unlimited mileage warranty. Labor to install is extra. You really have no options except a rebuilt engine or a used engine. Used engines, especially the 24 valve 5.4, may have serious issues and I would avoid them.

I don't want to put same 5.4 back in it. There's nothing else out there?

If I can only put a 5.4 in it, does it have to be a 2007? I've found several 5.4, what years will work?

Amanda, I just paid $3,200 for a re-manufactured 5.4L from Fraser Engines. They and Jasper Engines completely bulletproof the motors with re-engineered solutions. They are the official FORD re-manufacturing companies. They have 7 year/100k mile warranties and 10+horsepower over OEM. All of the issues with the 5.4L engine have been addressed and corrected. They are great engines. Don't be afraid to put a 5.4L in if it's been re-manufactured. I did my research on this.

Hey have a 2003 F150 Lariat with the 5.4 liter Tritan engine with possible blown head gaskets .Thinking of changing engine and found a 1999 5.4 Tritan Jasper remanufactered for sale good price. Contacted my mechanic and he’s not sure if it will match up , thinking it’s due to which tranny bolts to it. My tranny is the 4r70w. Is this what I need to know if the engine will be compatible or is there more?

I hope you did *not* go with powertrain products. I have one from them and the warranty they advertise? It's complete garbage. The specific reason is there's a lot in my 3 valve 5.4 triton that's operated by oil pressure. The cam rides on oil there is no cam bearings. If there is no oil its the cam rides on the head itself. So my 3 valve 5.4 triton should be used exclusively with synthetic oil. Powertrain products motors aren't machined properly. They suggest using conventional oil only. However the same properties Powertrain products wants you to use conventional oil are the same properties that'll make the engine go bad. I've got to check my coolant once every two weeks and clean the vanilla pudding from my oil cap.

An EcoBoost V-8? There is no such thing. Stick with the 4.2. Also this thread is a year old...

There were two different plants making two different versions of the Triton and they will not directly interchange!
