4.6L modular engine
Anyone have any experance with this engine? It is listed as a v8-281 SOHC, 215 HP from a Expedition (97/98?). I have been offered it with the automatic overdrive, and wire harness/computer.
If I buy it I would install it in a 1959 F100 short wheelbase used as a driver with light towing. I am looking for performance, but gas economy is the most important to me.
Any suggestions/comments/experance?
Thanks -

I've had a little experience with them as fitted to the '93 Crown Vic. I think it's a great engine and would be way cool in an older truck like that. Now you've got me thinking about putting one in one of the F1s I'm getting...! I say go for it, but be prepared to have an interesting(!) time with the wiring. I think there are probably aftermarket engine swap harnesses available that should make it a bit easier.
