2024 Ford F-150 Lariat 3.5 EcoBoost — engine swap packaging: offset versus driveline angle

BoxerCommuter63Community StarterNov 7, 20252024 Ford F-150 Lariat 3.5 EcoBoostAtlanta
2024 Ford F-150 Lariat 3.5 EcoBoost, about 151,000 miles. Mocking up an engine/transmission in a chassis with very tight steering and footwell clearance. I can offset it slightly, but I don't want to create driveline vibration. What measurements should be locked down before making mounts? I'm in Atlanta. If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Ford F-150, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Did the worksheet show tax yet? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. On the 2024 Ford F-150 in Atlanta, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “150 lariat 3.5 ecoboost — engine swap,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Ford F-150 in Atlanta with 151,000 miles. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Ford F-150 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 Ford F-150 in Atlanta with 151,000 miles. Just my two cents from doing this recently. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
