Default 4.6 in a 1992 fox mustang

I have a 1992 lx mustang with a 383 stroker right now. I want to do a 4.6 swap and turbo the 4.6. Does anyone know how hard the swap is and what do i need to get to do the swap.

I know there may be a couple of guys here on the board that have done the swap, but I cant remember who they were. Try posting this up in the 5.0 forum. Good luck.

Yes, you can make it fit. But why do you want 100cid less? It doesn't sound like you're making an econo cruiser. Put that money for a kit into a 514cid twin turbo. 'bout the same cost, but you can probably guess how much more power the 514 can make (heck, drop the CR on your stroker and slap the turbo(s) on that).

well i think the 514 will cost a bit more to put in a fox, but all the same the 4.6 swap is an expensive swap, new headers, motor mounts gotta do some work to the firewall, and if its a dohc 4.6 than u might not make it w/out some hammer blows to the strut towers. its not worth it, just put the money into the 5.0 and u will be happier u did.
