Certainly not, but i only put a few thousand miles on it, been driving my f350 6.7 turbo diesel that way for 137k, and it's cranked up to 600hp. If she can't handle full throttle accelerations then she ain't worth a fuck to me, lol

Actually, tappets is the official term for them in the factory service manual.tapits... LOL... I haven't heard that term used in decades. That guy is showing his age... and mine too.
Yes, the term has been around since the 1700s, but it is still valid, and newer engines still use the term, including my current (2018) car.

you can get bearings in a couple (factory) sizes that are known to fit the 3.9 crankshaft.
parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com
the rod bearings are the same between 4.0 and 4.2, should be the same with ford 3.9

notice how they’re color coded. on jag v8s the bearing codes are stamped next to the coolant drain plug, right above the left motor mount. this course tells you the basis of rebuilding and how to read your bearing codes

for the 4.2 swap you definitely need to swap the pickup rings on the back of each cam, or all camshaft and buckets.
you need to swap valve covers, intake and all accessories. i don’t know if the 4.2 engine has a hole for the CHT sensor (they use a coolant temp sensor) so you’ll have to get creative with that.
upper oil pan shouldn’t need to change, just swap the adapter boss (3 bolts) where the filter and sensors go

Just wait until North Korea (or China... or Russia) launch an EMP over us. You'll be wanting a 1972 Bronco at that point.

Hold your breath... you might be surprised.
Especially if Desantis or Pompeo steps in the ring.

Keep in mind they did that conversion on an "old school" pickup truck. I don't think the LS will be very happy when it thinks all of its sensors, TC, ABS... and other electronics are missing.

And that number keeps falling.
I think that this Russia/Ukraine thing is all a bunch of "smoke and mirrors" to get whatever info Ukraine offered to Trump about Hunter... way back in 2016 when the Dems went on a "witch hunt" when Trump had those phone calls with Zelenskyy.

And I'll say it again... Biden is not the "senile old coot" he pretends to be.

Well i may have found a decent junkyard engine, don't really wanna gamble like that but sadly seems to be my only option. i can either throw away 5k or spend another 4k, then my trans will assuredly go out next, then I'll spend another 3 or 4k, then i might have a decent car. Shit, i shoulda just got an mkz, ha!
