I've been looking at 4.6 lt crate motors and am going to drop one of these babies into Uma once she's paid off. It look's like a straight swap but would appreciate any comment's and advice on the project.
Here's a couple of pic's and description of what I'd like to do/get.
These are BRAND NEW OEM Ford 4.6 L SOHC crate motors. These Ford factory assembled motors have absolutely no rebuilt parts and feature the new PI (performance improvement) cylinder heads. They are a direct replacement for your 99-04 Mustang GT*. They can also be used to in the 96 to 98 model Mustangs** with the use of the original vehicle engine wire harness and coil packs. You can really "wake up" the 96-98 model low horsepower engines with this 35 horsepower upgrade!
These motors are brand new and complete! From the engine wiring harness to the oil pan, these motors are ready for installation. Just use the original 6-bolt flywheel/flexplate on 96-98 and 2001-2004 engines. If you own a 1999-2000 Windsor engine vehicle (with an 8-bolt crankshaft) or if you want to replace/upgrade your worn out components, we also sell NEW Ford 11" clutch/pressure plate/flywheel assemblies or SF approved automatic flexplates at extremely competative prices. Please see Manual Flywheel or Automatic Flexplate below. You 1996-1998 owners will definitely want to take advantage of this pricing and upgrade from your old 10.5" clutch setup to the 11" clutch with more holding power!
Save money on teardown/build and installation charges due to this simple swap. These crate engines even come with ALL brand new accessories (except AC compressor)! You get a new alternator, power steering pump, ignition coils, fuel injectors, water pump, idler puley, and all sensors. Why would you want to rebuild your old engine and use the old "worn out" components or have the expense of purchasing all these components seperately? Purchase the complete brand new package for the cost most companies charge for an overhauled longblock!
These new engines are perfect choice for any Street Rod, Muscle Car, or project needing a new complete fuel injected powerplant! These engines were rated at 260 HP at 5250 rpm and 302 Ft/Lbs @ 4000 rpm through factory exhaust in the Mustang GT. Just add a few more parts and your classic car could have the power, dependability, and gas mileage of a new car at an economical price! We have information on companies that manufacture aftermarket wire harnesses to make the engine/computer work in older vehicles, just ask.
