Truck 4.6

MATT02GT · March 29th, 2008, 03:42 PM

Just picked up a 4.6 longblock out of a 2001 truck for $100. Are these pretty much the same pi heads and block that they use in our cars? Just thinking this might be a good starting point for a built motor.

i was helping my buddy with a 4.6 out of a truck, and it was the same base, just there were some diffrences, it should work as a build though

Does the motor turn over? How many miles on it? Sounds like a GREAT deal!!

Dont know much about it, it was a core from the dealership. Has everything on it...harness, cop's, intake, etc. I figure I can sell some of the parts and get my $100 back lol and just build the block and heads

yea most of the accesories prob will not switch over, just sell all that shit, and build the block and heads

MATT02GT · March 29th, 2008, 05:26 PM

Any pro's or con's to this motor?

its the same motor, may have to use some of your accessories though

MATT02GT · March 31st, 2008, 12:57 PM

Im just still not sure if I should use this or hold out for a 5.4 block

I can speak from experience: those were great motors, at least for longevity. My dad has had 3 10th Generation F-150's (97-04), and they have lasted into high kilometers even with much heavy towing that should have been left up to a bigger truck. I inherited his last F-150 from 2002 (he has since switched to a F-250) at 180,000 km, and I have it at 245,000 km and I expect to keep it well into the 300,000. I have had no problems with the engine (or the truck for that matter) My neighbor who is a mechanic at a Ford dealership says they pull 4.6's out of cabs all the time with over 500,000 kms on them.
