4.6l f150 engine/trans in 99 3.8 mustang

mmvi · June 27th, 2007, 04:24 PM

I can get a 4.6 dohc engine and trans from a 97 ford f150 for dirt cheap, and my question is, what will i need to make it fit into my mustang?

El_Cangri · June 27th, 2007, 04:28 PM

new k-members and other support 4 the engine...

some ppl here know more about these swaps than me so wait a lil longer

scubasteve041186 · June 27th, 2007, 04:29 PM

i would look into the wiring and engine mounts

mmvi · June 27th, 2007, 04:31 PM

but would the trans work from the f150? how about my stock 7.5 rear and 4.10 gears?

tsp_2177 · June 27th, 2007, 06:51 PM

it would be geared to pull then.. you wouldnt have any trouble pulling a trailer.... but i wouldnt think it'd be to good for speed you dont see many stock f-150 ( besides the lightnings) on a drag strip

Onemanzu · June 27th, 2007, 06:55 PM

... yea the tranny would be geared weird... would have a ton of torque feeling about it

engine mounts, k member(might have to be custom fabbed a bit), you might wanna get the computer outta the truck, and then the rear end too... if thats possible

or just buy the truck from your buddy and put the mustang body on it...

tsp_2177 · June 27th, 2007, 06:58 PM

or just mod the v6 were it will beat a 4.6l

what f150 had a dohc 4.6?

tsp_2177 · June 27th, 2007, 07:06 PM

wasnt the only dohc 4.6l was the cobras right???
that would be awesome to have a dohc f-150 lol

Onemanzu · June 27th, 2007, 07:06 PM

that would take a while... see our old 3.8's aren't as fast as your 4.0 so we need to put more money into our car to run with 4.6's then you do...

you technically could beat a 96-98 4.6 GT where we would be able to read their bumper for a very long time... we being split ports... my single port wouldn't run with a civic... T_T

anyways it would take a bit of work and custom fabbing but its very possible... and for the first person that says its a waste of time and money... i bought a shotgun yesterday with my graduation money and am dieing to try it out... maybe your face can be my first target

tsp_2177 · June 27th, 2007, 07:11 PM

yeah ive been trying to find a gt that will race me at the local strip just to see what my car will do.... but a guy with a 95 gt wont even talk to me about it i guess he really thinks that i can beat him

SSStang · June 27th, 2007, 07:11 PM

this is a waste of money

mmvi · June 27th, 2007, 07:13 PM

its a 4.6l triton my father has one in his truck as well... and my 99 3.8 isnt going to make as much as i'd like in the end... can i buy gears for the trans to change it or am i better off getting another trans?

haha +1 only if your gonna put the f-150 trans in it but with a gt tranny or finding i 6-speed that would hook up to it that would be pretty cool
EDIT you beat me to it so +2
ALSO how many miles are we talking on the engine since it was a work truck???? might not even be worth messin with depends on how your dad drove it

mmvi · June 27th, 2007, 07:15 PM

im not going for a gt

4.6L triton is SOHC

And before you pay for that, + swap, +wiring, +tuning

You might as well buy a 4.3L stroker from SSM and have a bullit proof motor thats will last you for a while -

Onemanzu · June 27th, 2007, 07:18 PM

im gonna need more bullets

tsp_2177 · June 27th, 2007, 07:19 PM
