aje racing makes k members for the swap,youd also need different headers to match up to the rest of your exhaust i would assume. the four valves need a different brake booster too i believe(coulda been the 5.4's tho) i read an article on it somewhere




EDIT: just did a quick goole search heres an article http://www.hotrod.com/howto/113_0708...wap/index.html

for your brakes, you;d have some fun... the 4.6 needs what's known as the "hydroboost" system instead of a vaccume brake booster the booster uses hydraulic pressure from the p/s pump, the 4.6 was so cramped in the sn they designed this system, it's also used on many diesel trucks since they dont create vaccume.... cant really run a vaccume booster.

while i've seen it done before.... man is that gonna be ALOT of work

Haha I always thought it'd be beast to swap the motors in my 89 gt and my 98 mkviii

well my dads not to thrilled on the idea...idk ill see what happends...he doesnt like the mod motors..but bone stock that 04 cobra puts down 380 wheel horse..my h/c/i full bolt on 308 isnt doing that..

cause the 04 cobra has a blower........
hci doesnt equal blower power
