Can a 97 f150 4.6 motor be swapped onto 2001 f150 4.6 triton body
I would suspect the engine long block would fit just fine (physically), but you'd need to change over the entire wiring harness, coils, manifolds, and all electronic bits/pieces. So physically it ...

Physically it would fit, but you'd either have to have your ECU tuned for the new engine or use the ECU out of the 2008. Depending on what type of G35 it came out of, it has different HP/TQ levels. ...
