First off... Hello fellow Ford fans. First time poster here, but I really need your help. Here goes...

I have a '96 Mustang GT which has its original non-PI powerplant with roughly 200k miles. I was planning to buy a longblock early next year. However a friend of mine just rolled and totalled his '00 F150 with the 4.6 Trition. I can get the entire truck off him for about $1k. Are the '00 4.6 Tritons different from the '00 4.6 2v in the Mustangs? If I can use his motor it would be a steal for me. His trk had low miles and was very well kept. Otherwise I'm facing $4500 for a D.S.S. Racing longblock. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I posted this same question on a Mustang forum but no one seems too familiar with the Tritons.

 

You asked a question that doesn't make sense for the vehicle posted.

Is it a 96 or a 00 ?

That might be why your not getting an answer.

 

I asked it in that manner because the '00 4.6 2v from the Mustang WILL work in my car. So I'm asking if the '00 Triton 4.6 is the same. But yes, my car is a '96.

 

The 00 Triton 4.6 is also a romeo engine and it also has Non Pi heads like your 96 GT. The 00 Mustang is a Pi head engine. It will produce more power than your 96. The 00 triton has COP ignition and your 96 Gt has coil packs. Use your intake manifold on the triton and your coil packs and plugs. I believe that your 96 has an electric fan so take the fan off of the Triton engine as you will not need it.

tyvm JMC. This has been by and far the most help I've gotten from any source. MUCH APPRECIATED.

 

I thought that all 4.6's went PI in 99

EDIT:
Maybe the trucks became PI in 2000, and Mustangs in 99?

In the F-150 the 5.4 went Pi in 1999 and the 4.6 went Pi in 2001.
