Engine Options
Which engine does your F-150 have?
From 1980 to 1996 the F-150 used Ford’s pushrod engines: the 4.9L (300) inline-six and the 5.0L (302) and 5.8L (351) V8s, carbureted at first and all fuel-injected from 1988. The 1997 truck brought the overhead-cam Triton V8s, and 2011 the 5.0L Coyote V8 and the 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, both still offered.
Even within an era, one name can cover different engines. The 5.8L was the 351M until 1982 and the 351 Windsor after, the 4.6L and 5.4L came in 2-valve and 3-valve forms, and the 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost were both redesigned partway through without a change of name. The table below lists what was offered when; your VIN confirms which one you have.

Before You Order
What to check before you order
5.8L: 351M or 351 Windsor
The 5.8L in 1980–1982 trucks is the 351M, from a different engine family than the 351 Windsor used from 1983. They share a displacement but not a block, so match the one your truck has.
Carburetor or fuel injection
Fuel injection came to the 5.0L in 1985, the 4.9L in 1987 and the 5.8L in 1988. A fuel-injected engine needs its own computer, wiring and fuel system, so it is not a direct swap for a carbureted one.
2004: two different trucks
Ford sold the old body as the F-150 Heritage alongside the new 2004 truck. Every V8 in an old-body 2004 is a 2-valve, while the new-body 5.4L is a 3-valve with different heads and electronics, so the two are not interchangeable.
2-valve or 3-valve
The 4.6L and 5.4L Triton V8s were built in both forms, with different cylinder heads and electronics. In 2009–2010 a truck could have either version of the 4.6L.
First- or second-generation EcoBoost
The 3.5L EcoBoost was redesigned for 2017 and the 2.7L for 2018, and the name stayed the same. The model year matters as much as the engine size.
Find your engine from the VIN
On 1981 and later trucks, the eighth character of the VIN identifies the engine. Have the full VIN ready and we will confirm the engine, model year and cab before we quote.
Hybrid and diesel trucks
The PowerBoost hybrid pairs the 3.5L EcoBoost with an electric motor inside the transmission, and the 3.0L Power Stroke diesel was sold only from 2018 to 2021. Tell us if you have either.
Common Problems
Common F-150 engine problems
Cam phaser noise — 5.4L 3-valve
A knock at hot idle and a rattle for a few seconds at start-up, from the variable cam timing phasers.
Spark plugs — 4.6L and 5.4L Triton
On 2-valve engines the plug threads in the aluminum heads can strip and a plug can blow out. On 3-valve 5.4L engines in 2004–2008 trucks, the original two-piece plugs can seize and break off in the head when removed.
Timing chain stretch — 2011–2016 3.5L EcoBoost
On first-generation engines the timing chain can stretch, bringing a rattle at start-up and a check-engine light for cam timing. The repair is a new timing chain set.
Cam phaser rattle — 2017–2020 3.5L EcoBoost
Second-generation engines can make a loud rattle for a few seconds after a cold start, caused by the cam phasers.
Oil consumption — 2018–2020 5.0L
Some of the revised, direct-injected V8s burn oil between changes with no visible leak, so check the dipstick often.

FAQ
F-150 engine questions, answered
Will a 5.4L from another year fit my F-150?
Only if it is the same version. The 5.4L in 1997–2003 trucks and old-body 2004 models is a 2-valve; the one in new-body 2004–2010 trucks is a 3-valve. Send us your VIN and we will confirm what fits.
Is the 5.0L in an older F-150 the same as the Coyote?
No. The 5.0L in 1980–1996 trucks is the 302, a pushrod V8. The 5.0L Coyote, used from 2011, is a twin-cam engine with nothing in common but the displacement. Tell us your model year and we will quote the right one.
Is a first-generation EcoBoost interchangeable with a second-generation one?
No. The second-generation engines (3.5L from 2017, 2.7L from 2018) added port fuel injection alongside direct injection and changed many internal parts. Give us the model year along with the engine size.
Can you supply an engine for the F-150 Lightning?
The SVT Lightning used two different engines: a high-output 5.8L V8 in 1993–1995 and a supercharged 5.4L V8 in 1999–2004. Tell us which you have and we will quote it. The battery-electric F-150 Lightning introduced for 2022 has no engine.
Do you supply engines for the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty?
Yes. Super Duty trucks have their own engine lineup, including the 7.3L gasoline V8 and the Power Stroke diesel V8s. Pick your truck in the quote form or give us a call.
Is the engine covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every engine we sell is covered by warranty, and extended cover is available at extra cost. The full terms are in our Warranty Policy.
