engine question about 99 F250 gas engine

[Ted]

Talking to a person about a possible vehicle trade. he has a 99F250 that he says one of the spark plugs blew out of the head. How big of a problem is this fix, and since i know nothing about doing it, how much would I be looking at a repair cost

does this have the 5.4 3 valve?

does this have the 5.4 3 valve?

should be a 2v

'99 won't be a 3 valve, so fixing it will be a bit less of a pain in the ass. Difficulty will depend on which cylinder blew out. You can buy a repair kit for $30-$50 bucks depending on the brand. Basically, you'll be tapping new threads and installing an insert. If you don't want to do it yourself, Greenbullitt may be willing to do it and he'll do it right.

And to answer first question, it does have a 5.4. And thank you Biggums.
