Was wondering if anyone know of anyone who put a 4.6l in an 85 F150. Now you are probibly wondering why? The 300 6cyl is tired at 205,000 miles and I got a really sweet deal on a 4.6l out of a 94 Crown Vic. Intercepter package. Was wondering if any one has done this yet?

Thanks

 

Be a rough job, make sure it fits properly and that your drivelines and transmission bolt up, be sure to have all of the computers for the engine, too. It would be tough, and I haven't heard of it, but I am sure that someone on this board can tell you more. Anyone?

 

Does anyone know anyone who has done this?

Thanks

 

Please????

 

What were those motors rated at then? wasnt it like 210hp?

 

I am not sure what the 4.6l is rated at.

 

Any one know of any websites on it?

 

Thats cool that your trying to do something like that, but if i were you, well if itll bolt up, slap in a 351 in that bad boy. If it wont bolt up, i wish ya good luck on the engine swap.

 

Thanks, I figured out that I am only going to have to make motor mounts myself. Which I dont mind. And of course I am going to get another driveshaft made. And other little odds and ends stuff.

 

My 98 manual says 220hp for the 4.6L.

You'd definitely need to get the whole drivetrain (engine & tranny) for it to work properly. The 4.6 loves to rev. Totally different than the low rpm torque of the previous generation motors.

Also, to make your speedo work it would probably have to be a 97 or 98 model that still have the usual speedo cable, I think in 99 they went to electronic.

You may be better off just to sell what you have and buy a newer one for the benefits.

Good luck anyhow.

 

Wow 220hp Thats nice I didnt even know that...!! Nice...

 

if your really going to do this. get the whole car. your going to need alot of thing's that car has. or you can buy a used car with the money your going to spend doing it with out that car. but if your really want to. i know a gut that this is what he does. and he can help you. or tell you the truth, that maybe i dont know. good bad or what ever. he know's. let me know, i'll look for his number. i have it in my cell.

 

Yea I kinda already figured I would need the whole car. So before I even started looking for a motor I was really looking for a car. So basically I do have the whole car in my backyard right now.
