RE: engine swap
Any mod motor will fit. If you switch to a DOHC, you may have computer problems.

RE: engine swap
ANy of the 4.6 SOHC engines will bolt right in. But if you go with a cobra motor DOHC you will need a new wiring harness and new accessories because I dont think that they are in the same spot as the ones you already have so they will not work. I would just get a SOHC out of a 99+ mustang with the PI heads because it is a lot of work for the DOHC swap.
