Engine Question

man_of_war2081 · November 8th, 2006, 06:40 PM

At my local junk yard I can get a 2001 Crown VIC engine for $130 and I was wondering if it is the same block as the 2002 Mustang GT block minus the intake cause I would like to buy this engine, forge it and swap my Heads, and intake over to it.

Thanks! how hard would it be to pull the engine though? I know I have all the tools I need but I know that engines gotta be pretty heavy, im planning on just taking the block and leaving all else behind to save weight so I can try and muscle it into the back of van or truck...

good luck with it yeah me and my buddy lifted this motor and put it on this engine stand and it had the heads on it timing chain oil pan you can do it

JRubin2000 · November 8th, 2006, 11:17 PM

Good luck man, and yea two guys should def be able to handle it. Im not a strong guy and my friend and I ripped apart an 87 IROC Z camaro to get the 350 out for our project car.

Thanks i'll definatluy need it, so the engine itself isnt bolted down to anything but the trans right? and dose anyone know what size sockets to use on these bolts so i'll know what to take? Sorry im asking so many questions

JRubin2000 · November 8th, 2006, 11:44 PM

well im not 100% on the sockets. Id say if you have a set to bring with you, bring them all. And the junkyard if theylle do the job for you. I know when one of my friend up here in NY got an engine from a yard, they took it out for him no charge.

Hmm theres a thought, I might give the yard a call tomorrow and see if they can pull it for me this weekend

JRubin2000 · November 8th, 2006, 11:53 PM

Hopefully they could, but if not, youlle get some good experiance taking the engine out. Its not all that bad. ive only done it twice and its not bad at all. If you get a friend, its actually kindof fun. lol

man_of_war2081 · November 9th, 2006, 07:15 PM

Went to the junk yard today and someone yanked the 2001 Crown Vic engine already, but there are alot of Ford based 4.6 liter cars out there with years ranging from 91-98 so I think I may go with the 94 Lincoln TownCar engine... I would imagine that it has Non PI heads but as long as I can bolt some ported PI heads on it i'll be happy

232stang · November 10th, 2006, 03:14 AM

this may be stupid but what do yall think about taking a engine and trans(same as the gt) and put it in my v6? how hard would this swap be. im not ignorant when it comes to working on cars but im not all that experienced. ive done a clutch change out and thats about it as far as major stuff.

Tfreestyle · November 14th, 2006, 04:53 AM

sell the v6 and buy a gt. honestly less hassle and its not worth it to swap the v6 out unless you are dropping in a crazy engine set up.

I will be doing a full detailed write-up with pics when I get back from the sandbox in 2 months on how to install and reinstall a 4.6 in a Mustang GT...

Its really not a tough job...Just time consuming...

A Cherry Picker makes things alot easier...

ChrisJ · November 16th, 2006, 06:56 AM

But if you dont have a lift you can do it with a cherry picker...
