Okay, Now that i have the looks on my car complete im now looking to do an engine swap. 02 v6. My uncle has a 94 or something lincoln mark 8 with the quad cam v8. i know it isnt as good as a cobra engine but i cant remember why. I can get the engine really cheap is why im interested in doing this. So if i were to get it, how much mods would i have to make? Would it bolt to my auto tranny? how would the wiring harness work? change my gauge cluster? I think im looking for rednecks help, but i havent talked with many of the v8 guys around here. Thanks for all your time!

 

The early year 4v 4.6L motors are terrible and make crappy power and the bottom ends are ****. Look else where for a motor if you ask me. Find a 96+ 4v motor and you will be good to go.

 

seriously... ditto that.

Now if you don't care, then you'll need a 4v B-head intake (96-98 cobra), injectors, fuel rails, underhood wiring harness including tranny harness (front to back if you ask me man... too much **** is different), ECU, tranny, motor mounts, clutch, rear end, drive shaft, headers, mid-pipe, catback, sway bar, front cover, accessories and a tune.

My advice, don't swap a 6 car. Sell the 6 car and find a cheap 8 car, even a NPI 8 car and then we can work with that without breaking the bank. Otherwise you're going to spend about 6 grand getting that muvfukker in there.
