I'm game for an Ecoboost swap. Who wants to bring their van in? 
Wait a bit and you may be able to get the 10-speed auto with that engine.

2014 Eco Boost 3.5L V6 engine, transmission and transfer case for $7500. I say you drop this one in and sell the 7.3 to help cover your costs

Do you have a link to the engine changes over the years? all i found was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine no mention of 2011 changes for the 5.4
I searched, "5.4 Triton HP TQ" (sans quotes) and this was the first match, so I used it:

Scroll about half way down the page for the 5.4 info. I am not a Ford guy, so I have no clue if this is correct or if it applies to vans, etc.

UJOR swap without lift?
I'm about to pull the trigger on an E350 with plans to do a UJOR 6" swap. I've got good mechanical skills - engine rebuilds, suspension swaps, engine swaps and some budding fabrication skills, but woke up in a sweat last night thinking, holy ******t, can I do it without a lift? I have a couple 18-20" 3 ton floor jacks, bottle jacks, jack stands, and access to a tranny jack. Have mig, tig, plasma.
So, what do you think, can it be done without a lift?
TIA
Steve

Hey Steve,
I just did the same thing, 94 E350 IDI with a UJOR 6". Pretty similar background and tools as you, minus the plasma..I would say it is generally easier than I expected. I do not have a lift. I built a small cart on casters that my axles were on so I could reposition them easily, and simply lowered the van down onto the axle. Other than that, everything else is pretty straightforward.
Pull the trigger!
And make sure you have a few extra back up dollars handy These things are somewhat of a money pit during the build phase I have noticed!
