It will not be a direct bolt in, not to mention you will lose a good 10-20hp with a CV engine. Mustang engines are also close but not a direct drop in either. Mustangs over '99 will have PI heads/intakes as will CV's from '01 and up and F150's from '99/'00+.

yes '97 and '98 will bolt in and '99+ will be darn close to bolting in and have another 20hp or so.

Here is a link on the differences in modulars from '92-'00:
