I'm looking for drop-in replacement power plant for the 5.4L Triton with the ungodly plug packs.

Any and all assistance will be appreciated

Actually expy is a nickname for Expedition. And Triton is the type of motor. As far as I know, without reinventing litterealy everything your stuck installing the same if not close year replacement motor. We do have a member here that's trying to shoehorn a v10 and 4r100 engine out of an Excursion. Stay tuned and see if it fits, and how much cutting/welding he does!

Thanks 1955moose. I'm interested so I will maintain touch. The Expedition I have is a cast-off from my son, who is very disgusted with the Triton engine as this is # 4 that has went belly-up.

I looking to resurrect his through-away.

Maybe it's just bad luck, I can't answer to that as I wasn't the driver. I am considering a remanufactured (1) from Jasper.

Think that would be worth as the rest of the vehicle is in great shape.

If each time they installed one of the three replacement engines they monkey-hammered a few bolts and left some out because they didn't know where they went, it should be a real easy swap.

You might not want Jasper. We had a member here that had bad luck with their reman engine. Ford reman is the best choice, but he recommended 2 other brands that also had a good rep. Sorry I couldn't find the post, maybe one of our other members can post his post with the name of the engines.

Thanks 1955moose I'll keep looking. Don't really know where to go. But I do not wish to get stung.

New question.... Will a newer 5.4L such as the 4 valve model now installed by Ford in todays vehicles drop-in to a 2000 Expedition and not require an ECM change or an additional computer module or am I opening another can of worms?
