Any recommendations for parts or sensors to swap while motor is out?Just looking for Any information that could be considered helpful.Second motor swap first was a junkyard swap that went fine but had oil pump failure 1 month later caused us to go this route.Information on plugs, coil packs, oil and filter for breakin process.

Can't be a new crate, that comes from the manufacturer, they haven't produced those for a long time. You can still get a Coyote. So I gather it's either remanufactured or rebuilt. You're most likley installing a reman....is that right ?

Why coil packs, the 5fours never used them? Did the truck you are installing the 5four in use to have a 4.6L ? That would be a good reason to use packs.

Helps to know this info up front if we are to help.

Mystang50

Yes sir, a Reman to be specific. And ypu are correct about original motor being 4.6, hence why the coil packs

Jbrew

So already had another 5four in it, - realigned the exhaust manifolds, plumed in a ECT, mounts for the coil packs and perhaps lengthened the IAT harness (not sure if that will reach) ...that much is done ?

Mystang50

correct. This is 5.4 number 3 lol

Jbrew

Lol, maybe you should of went with the V10...it'll shoe horn in there as well.

Mystang50

would it bolt up to the 5speed manual?

Jbrew

Can be done but I don't think it would last very long.

Which tune are you using, 4six, 5four or custom?

mbb

You can replace as much or as little as you want to.

You need to follow whatever break in instructions that are required for your warranty.

there is a 5m4 tune on it. From previous owner who did first swap.
