I only get noise in a certain rev ranges so I'm hoping it's even just the bearings. I've looked and the front axel has to come out first then the pan. So I'll have to take next weekend to get that done. Is there no way to cross something off the list without cracking it?

If I was going to swap the motor and transmission anyway. I was thinking of buying a body scrapped manual f-150 and swapping the whole drive train. Does anyone know if the 4.6l are any different in the f150.

I was going to drop the oil pan first and see what's going on inside. But, I guess if I'm going to swap it in the long run I should just start with pulling it.

That's great to hear! I have been reading alot on here and have already learned some much. This place is just a well of fantastic resources. This is the first time I've posted and I'm glad I did. I've only had it 4 years not driving it very often but I think deep down I always knew it was gonna...

Exactly. The motor has 240000 km on it so it's seen quite a bit of life. Would it be cheaper to rebuild what I got or buy a motor from scrap and build that one up?

Yeah that was definitely the plan as well. There is room for the vortech with and electric fan conversation. And people have even got the Eaton m112 to "bolt up". But that's for another day ahaha. I need to make sure the internals are solid before anything.

I've been planning on doing a manual swap for some time as well. Mind you all of this was for the 4.6, I'll probably need to do more research now. I was kinda hoping the tranny would have gone first but I guess whatever it takes to actually get me to start this build.

At some point I will be modifying this thing through the roof and need good base internals to start anyway.

I've done a few rebuilds before on my own time, so I don't really have a problem tearing into the motor myself. I've yet to see the modular V8 apart and I've been really wanting to ahaha. Would it be easier to just find a running 4.6 or even 5.0 and drop in? I'm thinking rods are an easy enough...

I just took my 2002 Explorer limited 4.6l through a small pond and flooded my intake with water. The engine died and like an idiot I tired to start it. We finally got the engine running and idling, but now there is a clacking sound. Does this mean I will have to replace a rod or two? (It doesn't...
