Sorry about the newbie question guys, but I'm not familiar with ford stuff.
I have an opportunity to pick up a running, driving 94 Cougar donor car for $250 and I'd love to put that motor and trans to work in a stang if there the same, or at least similar. If there not the same, can anybody tell me the differences, (cam, exhaust, rear end, computer, and so on.) Thanks guys

its not a modular engine, just a 4.6 so it probably wont work without spending a ton of money

Yes it is a mod motor
Non-PI

^^^ yeah my bad, i was just about to edit my post after looking it up. its only rated at 205hp/265tq so ur gonna be lacking some power. but u can always do a pi swap and gain some power.

its a mod motor diff,heads, and intake a thunderbird/cougar 94-97 4.6 trnny should bolt right up to a 4.6 sohc mustang engine so the swap should work just try to find pi heads, and intake not exactly sure on the computer

Used PI motors can be found for cheap these days. No sense is cheaping out 300 bucks by getting an NPI motor w/ seemingly half the power and the same amount of work.

www.tccoa.com is the place for the best info on these cars.

This was the first car and year to get Fords ODBII system.

The shortblock is an NPI, the heads are an early totally junk lower flowing NPI type that won't even accept a stock PI cam swap. You can swap the heads and intake to a PI setup but its a lot more work than a 96+ NPI.

^so basically....sh*t motor is the easiest way to describe it? Short and siimple, lol.
