4.6 four valve swap ?

Anyone ever done, or researched swapping a Lincoln Mark viii 4 valver into a Gen 2 in place of the 5.0 ?
They run pretty much the same trans, so that should be fine, but I am guessing the width might be tough.

They look like an old school hemi with these valve covers.

They're a pretty trick thing considering how cheap they are, 280hp rated 310 or more with exhaust and Cobra intake 6 bolt mains with an iron crank and the bare block only weighs 86 pounds !

Just curious.

Its been discussed before, but in the smallish body of the 2nd gen wont accommodate the motor and keep creature comforts like heat and air. There was a guy who did it in a 2wd Ranger, but it has different crossmember allowing for the oil pan. I believe custom headers have to be fabbed up to clear the steering and other stuff. Ill see if I can find the thread- they have the obligatory picture of the two motors side by side.
