zinc-vert02 · September 15th, 2010, 10:29 AM

as some of you might know i work at a salvage yard. so i can get my hands on a few diff 4v 4.6 engines. my question is which on these would be the bettter bet for a 4v wap in my car? reps for any help!

03 aviator for $1000
97 markViii for $500
i know ill have to get a cobra intake or something similar for either one but what other things would i also need? any help or opinions would be reped!

nice-- im selling my 4 valve complete headswap also off the 97 cobra! Good luck!

zinc-vert02 · September 15th, 2010, 10:45 AM

hopefully i can start collecting parts, its very easy to find parts for me seeing that i have a 15 acher salvage yard out my back door lol

Get the aviator motor. Much better heads.

ok thats what i was thinking

DickH · September 15th, 2010, 06:36 PM

aviator will work but the manifold wont clear the hood. The aviator motor is the same as an auto mach, so any part thats good on the mach will work on the aviator.

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 08:33 AM

was also just got in a 3v mustang.... so the choices are endless

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 10:23 AM

can any one help me on the parts i would need to swap the aviator eengine into my mustang? i know a few things but, some one thats knows more than me could really help out

futureMACH1racer · September 16th, 2010, 11:09 AM

3v motor is cheaper to build...

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 11:44 AM

yea but i cost alot more ( about 1500)

98Cobra_sleeper · September 16th, 2010, 11:57 AM

97 mark VIII is the teksid block? i know this has been posted alot, but which years of markVIII had the teksid blocks? i wanna build a spare up hardcore.

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 12:02 PM

im not sure, id have to search a little deeper

bitemark46 · September 16th, 2010, 03:05 PM

94-00 Mark 8's. Look for the grid iron pattern in the valley (tic tac toe). That means a teksid. Diamond pattern means a WAP block.

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 03:11 PM

so if this 98 markviii engine is a teksid block i should go with that one? or is the aviator one still the better engine?

and what all parts do i need for the swap? all the engines have the throtle bodies and harneses on them, so i need to know what other things i need so i can start planning this

futureMACH1racer · September 16th, 2010, 03:19 PM

To be honest I would go with whichever one has less miles, appears to be complete. You can get a Mach intake anywhere. What are your power goals? Unless you plan on seeing more than 600rwhp I say the WAP is just fine.

majorownage · September 16th, 2010, 03:21 PM

get the mark viii core

teksid block is saved from the crusher....dont give it to kimo!

The aviator heads really dont flow that much more over the 4.6 b heads anyway

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 03:26 PM

markviii engine has 197k on it lol ( seeing that my car has 50k on it ill go with the aviator engine

power goals, nothing to crazy just have something with some more kick than i got, maybe a cobra eaton set up in the future :idk:

zinc-vert02 · September 16th, 2010, 03:28 PM

i justy relized we have a 04 navigator 5.4 also, fudge! idk what to do

lolol

if it's oil was changed on a regular basis, it will last another 100k.

high milage mark viii's are junked mostly because the trannies give out.
