Hello to everyone. This is my first post so excuse me if I posted in wrong place.
My problem is I have '97 F-150 with a 4.2 in it and it is starting to make alot of noise. I would like to swap it with a v-8 of some kind. does anyone know how difficult this would be and what would be the best v-8 to go with? The tranny is a 5 speed manual and I don't know if it will hook up to any v-8's. Everyone that I have talked to says that trying to make this swap will be a nightmare, I'm just trying to get some help from some Ford folks!
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
