just buy a anouther 4.6 = cheaper and easier

i hate the 4.6 have you priced any 4.6's lately? worst case i will carb it, doesn't matter to me.

go to the junkyard look for a lincoln mark 8 pull the motor add your heads no mustang premuim added from the junkyard



you gotta swap the kmember also they are different in between the 4.6 and 5.0 sn95 cars

ok my heads are more than likely screwed also[/align]

will a sn95 K-member fir in my car? and will it hold my engine? i got connections to a mustang junk yard!

need a 94-95 crossmember i believe that the 3.8 also works for a 5.0 your 4.6 is a return less fuel system so you have to mod that your gonna need a new tranny a t5 froma 94-95 or an aode from a 94-95 along with all wirin associated with the the tranny

no, a 6 cyl k member will not work, find a k member from a 4cyl or 5.0 fox, or a tubular one might be a easier alternative

to be honest with you its going to cost you more money then its worth. I mean for the price you would be better off just dropping in a new 4.6 motor, or selling the body, or parting it out then selling it and possibly getting another car. I mean out around here you can pick up a nice stang for around 3k depending on the miles. How many miles were on your motor? If you do ever decide to part it out, i will take your seats cuz i hear you can mod them to fit in a fox, which i might do. I may do the whole interior swap. But if you can find a decent low milage 5.0 from the junk yard go for it bro. But you will have to do a lot of work and if you cant do it yourself, labor will kill you.

im almost 100% sure the v6 crossmember from a 94-95 works a friend had a 94 witha carbed 5.0 swap and dont remember him need to change the crossmember and everything ive looked for online doesnt call for it and remember we are talking about a sn95 not 79-93 fox
