1994/1995 Mustang 4.6 4 Valve Swap

Hey all, in the future I plan on picking up a second 1994-1995 Mustang GT to accompany the current '95 GTS. I'll be swapping in a 4.6 DOHC I'm in the process of building (slowly...) and I've been doing as much research as possible before starting this and asking to see if anyone else has done this swap SPECIFICALLY on a 5.0 SN-95 and not an existing 1996-1998 GT.



I pulled a running motor from a 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII. I'm aware of quite few parts that are needed and have already assembled a multitude of them.



Parts I currently have:



1997 Mustang SVT Cobra intake manifold

1997 Mustang SVT Cobra throttle body

1996 Mustang SVT Cobra ECU, PATS module, key and cylinder (matching set from 1 car)

1996 Mustang SVT Cobra engine bay power distribution harness

1996 Mustang SVT Cobra engine wiring harness

1997 Mustang SVT Cobra complete cylinder heads

MMR IMRC Delete plates

1997 Mustang SVT Cobra throttle cable

1997 Mustang SVT Cobra fuel lines

Unstamped OEM SVT Cobra valve cover plaque
1996 Cobra engine oil cooler
2003 Terminator crankshaft
1998 Cobra crankshaft



Parts I know/think I'll need:



2005-2010 Mustang GT windage tray and hardware kit

Billet oil pump gears and high volume oil pump

1996-Up Mustang GT/Cobra engine oil pan

1996-1998 SVT Cobra engine oil dipstick

Oil separator kit

1996-1997 Mustang SVT Cobra fuel rail

Tubular K-member for 4.6

1996-1998 Mustang SVT Cobra engine oil cooler

Forged rotating assembly

Procharger setup

Bell housing adapter for choice of transmission

Flexplate/Flywheel for choice of transmission

T-56 transmission or built C4 w/ manual valve body and trans-brake



I'm looking to see if anyone else has done a swap like this into a 1994-1995 car. Thanks in advance!!!

Jeeze jg, sounds like A LOT of work. How come you are so intent on putting all that modular motor into a SN-95? The labor sounds horrific. Why don't you just buy a 96' and call it done?
That's pretty rough stuff. Looks like you got quite the project ahead of you. That swap would never fly here in CA. If the motor you want to install wasn't offered for that particular year of the vehicle, it won't pass. Being a 4.6 into a sn-95 it wouldn't. Smog is a joke out here. Every two years I got to drag the stock, restrictive, garbage, beast of a stock ford H- pipe out of my moms back yard ( where I store it under a tarp) and bolt it up to my 95 so it will pass visual. Then guess what..... Back to moms to put the bbk x-pipe back on! Good luck.
