Question Crown Vic 4.6 v8 swap into my 98 3.8 ?

found a Crown Vic 4.6 with auto tranny - about 56544 miles. this is it:






what do you think? it'll fit in my car? what is all needed? mustang GT plenum, GT motor mounts, GT wiring + computer, GT dash cluster, 8.8 rear? What about my stock 98 auto transmission? Also will fit?


my car is a 1998 3.8 v6 with auto tranny. selling my v6 car to get a v8 is not an option!

yeah I know the 3.8 forum. but I'm looking for information if the Crown Vic engine will work. I can get all the Crown parts but what can I use for the Mustang?

You will want to swap the intake manifold over for a mustang GT one with the mustang plenum and TB. Otherwise that motor is the same as in any 2v car. Just need to know what year it is.

EDIT: its a 00 motor so it is not a PI headed motor. The Vics didn't get PI heads till either 01 or 02 I can't remember. So skip this motor its not worth it for the shitty performance. Unless you will swap heads to PI heads and intake.
