Anything can be done with money and time but I haven't heard of one. Muscle mustangs and fast fords has been swaping a 3v into a fox I would imagine it would be similar.

I think this guy is lost. Why wouldn't you buy a 4.6 3v. You can find a complete motor and wiring harness for $2k.

That Fox with the built Coyote is sick, check YouTube. As for swapping in an old 4.6... doesn't make sense. Just buy a built long block 3V or a new 5.0L. For your year, I would suggest the easy route and look for a foxbody 5.0L. They used in the SN95 in 1995.
On a side note, want to see sick, Google Obsidian SG1 or Mustang Aston Martin (whoever decided the Mustang need more than 8 cylinders... was right

'"In a 15 year bloom, before tightening emission regulations and rocketing gas prices stamped extinct on an entire breed of cars in the '70s, America's automobile industry produced the most memorable cars built anywhere, anytime: "The American Muscle Car." While today's modern squeaky clean cars may approach the performance numbers put up 35 years ago, they will never duplicate the rush generated by 400-plus cubic inches fighting for traction through period bias-ply tires. Pity today's car enthusiasts who think variable valve timing is the hot setup."'
