I have a 96 mustang gt and swapping in a 04 grand marquis motor. I got most accessories swapped but am curious if I also need to swap the water pump and oil pick up tube. I have asked around and havent gotten any answers. Please help

 

Humm I don't remember but those items are really easy to change once the engine is swapped over. I know the 96 body styles engine bay are a tad bit larger than my 01 style

 

oil pump pickup tube isnt an easy swap once the motor is in the car, and there is no difference in engine bay size from 96-04

 

i believe the <01 years had a different length water pump then the 01.5+ cars, it would be safe to swap the old water pump and I would also swap oil pan and pickup

 

Awesome thanks guys!

 

Im going to be buying some headers as well. Will i have to buy for 96 or 04?

 

96-04 2v all use the same headers

 

great thanks, got my bbk shorties on the way! Didnt want to deal with the hassle on long tubes
