4v Lincoln motors?
I searched but did not find much. How about using a 4v Lincoln motor in our Mustangs? What needs to be changed? Has anyone here done the transplant? Not likely I will ever be able to buy one, a Mach 1 or Cobra that is, so if the Lincoln would be a simple swap( simple, never is, is it?) that might be something to consider and with winter coming time to build a motor up for spring! Thanks for any and all info or links, mark
Maybe google has something.

RE: 4v Lincoln motors?
A Lincoln motor is a cast iron block and we have alluminum blocks. If you get all the wiring harnesses then it can be done. If you go for it then go all the way and get a 4v 5.4 Navigator motor. In my opinoin. You have to buy a different oil pan and k member but they say the engine mounts line up. You just have to do some reaserch on the internet and go to a mustang speed shop and ask. Or you can also go to a junk yard and find an old Mark 4v 4.6 motor. Im big on the 5.4 but thats just me. There is no replacement for displacement. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

RE: 4v Lincoln motors?
I was looking at the swap for a while also. Here is a link to good new and used motor dealer: www.karkraft.com
I wonder if anyone has swapped the newer 3v unit into our cars yet.

RE: 4v Lincoln motors?
The question is will the Lincoln motor work with the 2v computer? If it will then why aren't more guys looking for an aluminum 4v motor to replace their 2v? I need to call someone who knows Fords. mark
