Swap question January 14, 2010, 10:32:03 AM I was wanting to replace a 5.0 with a 4.6 liter police engine and transmission in my 83 cougar. Is this possible and what will I need for the swap? Thanks, D.P. Quote Selected

Swap question Reply #2 – January 14, 2010, 04:01:55 PM It is possible but I do not see the advantage of doing so? There's a lot you can do with the 5.0 and would keep it simple.This is coming from a guy that put a Cadillac 500 in his T-bird.I think there's someone on the forum who already done the 4.6 swap? I also think they make K-members to do this with the correct motor mounts.TED Quote Selected

Swap question Reply #4 – January 15, 2010, 10:11:24 PM It would be easier to swap the crown vic to a 83 cougar.It is alot of work and a lot of money. If you have the knowledge and access to a junkyard for free then go for it. If not then...... well it is up to you. Quote Selected

Is this possible and what will I need for the swap? Thanks, D.P.Welcome to the board D.P.I almost put a modular engine in my TC. I deemed it un-necessary and not worth it in the end. (cost and hassle) Is there a particular reason you want to do this swap, because the swap cost would seem to be much higher than a fuel injected 5.0 or 5.8W ? Just curious.Alan Quote Selected
Swap question Reply #8 – January 20, 2010, 10:41:37 AM Thanks for the replies. I was mainly just curious 'cause someone offered me good deal on a 4.6 police package. Probably gonna go with a HO 5.0. Thanks, D.P. Quote Selected
