4 valve swap

1badpurple96 · June 18th, 2009, 06:44 PM

I have a complete 98 Lincoln Mark viii and want to put the engine in my 96 mustang gt. The mustang is a 5 spd. I was wondering how much I need to keep from the Lincoln, and how much will need to purchased.

Just drop the engine in, plug up your gt engine harness and have the ECU tuned

there is way more too it then that. I am close after a year of messing with mine, and still have issues. For one, the mark viii enging is coil on plug. As for the eng, and computer harnesses, they are totally different. Then there is the transmission issues (that is where i am at now). In short, it all depends what dirrection you want to take with this conversion. First you must decide what trans you want to run (auto or manual). Then you pick your computer. After you have the computer picked out then you can map out your wire harness. If you need help ive problay already been there, just email me.

A friend of mine has done a Mark iiiV swap in his 97 NPI Mustang last year, he used his stock wire harness with coil pack and spark plug wires (no COP's) and ECU, he deleted the IMRC's and had the STOCK GT ECU tuned...

Swap cost him $150 for the complete motor at pullapart and $250 for the IMRC delete kit from MMR, a 96 Cobra intake with TB and egr he got for free, not sure what he spent on exhaust components but car runs great considering the motor was out of a 94 with an unkown milage and history.
