town car motor swap. do i need to swap the accesories?

[drew76924]

Im putting a 04 town car motor into my 03 mounty and wondering if i have to swap timming covers or can i just run the serpentine belt/accessory setup of the town car... i dont see why i couldnt just keep the town car belt setup but i could be wrong...

Do i have to swap timming covers too?

Thanks a ton

No one has any ideas?

not really sure, but if they are the same motor get them pulled and then compare the acc. and see if the drive pulleys and plugs are all the same.

They are both out and both different and the timming covers are different but the ac pumps are the same and the power steering pumps both bolt up to the same placw so i was going to run the same idlers n stuff as the town car.. i dont see y it wouldnt work but i was wondering if maybe someone tried. It and didn't work.. i just dont wanna swap timming covers im being lazy lol
