engine swap help
i was looking at putting the new 3 valve motor in my 96 mustang gt or even a cobra or mach 1 motor in. i was just wandering the things that would not cross over such as i know the computer box will have to change in the vehicle due to diffrent data but do i need the wireing harness to change as well? what other things would have to be changed?
i am under the impression i can pull a 3 valve motor from the newer modles with its computer box and be fine....is this nieve of me? |
3v motor will be very difficult with the digital throttle.
A cobra motor is your best bet. |
the 3V will be fine, but I doubt you can keep the VVT (Variable valve timing) The Throttle body will have to be switched out for a cable design rather then electronic.
That bening said, HOSS is right the 4V motor will require less tweaking and make more power. |
ok so cobra motor but what (if anything) would i need in line of making my car addapt to the switch from 2 vale to the 4 valve cobra engines have

Not really.. the stock harness would work with little modification, and the stock computers its self would be fine, however a tune would be needed.

Im planning on doing a motor swap on my 2v to make it a 32 valve 4v dohc 4.6 and im getting the motor from a donor lincoln mark IIIV its the same as a cobra motor only its half the price and doesnt come with the blower but im looking at how to mount it right now since its almost the same motor :)

If you are going to spend the $$$ on a 4v why not just go with a built 4.6 2v or 5.4 - then it is just plug and play. You can make plenty of power with either.

a built 2v is alot Im looking at a lincol whole car so i can use it as my insurance car for a 1000 so it has everything needed for the swap all i need is motor mounts, few other things but i mean that lincoln motor is like 289hp and then with a cobra blower when i figure out how to make it work will be like 390hp with different pullies few other mods thats a 500hp motor for less than a built 2v :D
