I've heard this is way more work than it's worth, but too much work for me may not be too much for you.

 

can you give me an idea of where to start? obviously i will need the flash the computer with a tune for a v8 due to the fact it will think its a v6 but i need to know anything and everything about this swap.

 

rear end, trans, to start with.

 

ok this is goin off what i have heard, now since the gt versions where the 5.0 motor still the v6 more than likely will be the same set up but just a 6 not the 8. So this prob would take alot of mods to drop a 4.6 into the 94-95 style.

 

Few suggestions



Agreed he would be better off finding a 302 out of an old fox body at the scrap yard. Rather than dropping in that 4.6 it requires motor mount fabrication and I believe a little firewall cutting also im not sure but if he really want s a 4.6 i suggest having him trade his v6 for a 96-98 model v6 and then swap it. Just a thought also im sure he could buy your 4.6 and trade it for a 5.0 also. But there will be more than likely complications with the year.

 

alrighty. so then what shall i do with my lil ole 4.6?

 

u do not need new motor mounts. the stock ones will work. u need the same stuff u would need going from a regular v6 to 4.6. engine,tranny,hydroboost setup, all dash harness, ecu and harness,headlight harness. its the same swap as a 96-98 v6 to 4.6. u can pmme if needed for more info

 

I've been wondering the same thing to do with the 4.6 in my car that im gonna pull out soon.

 

i just googled pics of both the engine bays and to me i dont really see a diff minus they had two diffrent motors in them. Maybe the K member is what changes

 

sometimes i hate you all. im talking to the guy right now saying it is more difficult and then i started reading posts......i just told him its not possible. hahahhahahaha and now i have to tell him it is

 

maybe u shouldnt say things unless you actually know. that can cost someone a lot on money and time and headaches

is the car a fox? no its not. I'm not being a dick but the body from 94-98 did not change. It will fit he's just going to need everything related to that motor which in my mind isn't worth the trouble. Tell him to invest in a carbed 5.0. So much easier to deal with and no wiring.

true. but hes going to have a lot more harder time making it legal. depending on where you live you cannot put a older engine in a newer car... and unless ur pretty sharp on electronics. this proly wouldnt be a way to go. ya its going to run. but ur electrinics inside most likely are going to be off if they even work at all. just swap in the 4.6 its the same swap as the 96-04.

 

sorry man i have always been told it was not because it was the same set up as a fox since they have the 5.0.

lol its ok. so it is possible but it just takes a lot of work correct? work is fine by me and i can help him with it. i just wanted to know if it was going to be more difficult due to the fact that the 94/95 mustangs had the 5.0 in them. i know its a v6 just didnt know if that mattered. so is the 94/95 v6 tranny the same as my t-45? he needs an ecu and harness, headlight harness, dash harness, and hydroboost setup? ok what is a hydroboost setup? what does it deal with?

 

Most anything is possible....whether or not it's worth it is the main point. Basically you could put any engine in the world in that car as long is physically it fit. Some work is more of a PITA than others.

 

I would look for a doner car

 

the hydroboost is the brake set up in the 96 and newer gt s if im not mistaken?

 

thats what i though. will his transmission bolt up to my engine? or does he need a new one?
