used engine is definantly the way to go and it will still be exspensive (crate motor from ford is best, but would run about 4.5 to 5k). I would say it probably would run about 3 to 3.5k as these engines are not cheap and the labor on a van is quite intense. pay extra for a warranty that will cover labor as well, if the salvage yards will not do this do not buy from them, the better ones will provide this warranty. these engines are pretty good and I have seen many last 300k so you need to take a close look at your maintenance practices, 96k is just getting broken in for most of these. are you sure it needs an engine? symptoms could be a stuck open or leaking injectors and a catalytic converter starting to plug up. have it checked by a competent tech if you have not.

Before you do anything, have it checked out and make sure it is the engine. It could be something like a head gasket, fuel problem or a problem with the ignition.
You can have the original engine rebuilt or you can trade it in and get a crate engine all ready to go. This will be more expensive than having the original rebuilt but you'll save some on the labor and the down time while they fix the old one.

5.4 Triton Crate Engine

You might be better off getting a used engine for this truck, as it's ten years old and you'll never get the money back on it. These engines are known for blowing head gaskets, and spitting spark plugs (I can't make this stuff up). If you have to have a rebuilt, then a remanufactured from Jasper is going to be your best bet. It will be around three thousand for the engine.

These engines are really reliable.They had problems with them leaking oil in the rear but not blowing.As far as plugs comming out you 97 was not involved in that..Before engine replacement i would get the engine checked out.Get a leakdown test done to see if rings are bad..get compression checked.Might be something like PCV not working proprely.Just suggestions before you spend big bucks
