Question 4.6 SOHC transplant

Has anyone attempted or completed a 4.6 transplant into a 67-72 2wd or 4wd truck? If so details please!

You will have to have a pretty good skill level on the gravel road to pull this off. I hope that you have the donor in your possession.

Van has done an EB with a DOHC... he may have some pointers for you...

Tumblin Automotive

I am getting ready to put a 4.6 DOHC into my 71 Highboy... the winter project.... I already have the donor ('94 Mark VIII) so I am getting excited....

Good luck and let me know if you learn anything ... I am sure it will help me.

Regards,

Eric

I'm considering this myself but I'm thinking a step further since I want a lower stance anyway. I have a 93 grand marquis and I'm thinking about doing a complete front clip swap on my 70 xlt 2wd. Then I'll put the rear from the gm into into it too so the bolt pattern will match. That will also give me abs and rear disk brakes too. And the 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern matches more wheels.
