Hey everyone I'm brand new to this site, I've been here reading alot but now I'm part of the site well any ways here's my questions....

I have a 69 F100 looking to do the crown vic front end swap and thinking of droping in a 4.6 as well. now i just found a 93 mark viii for $500 bucks. Will the dohc engine fit? has anyone ever tried to do something like this? and what about the console shiff, will I be able to convert that into a column shift? or is there any way to run the engine with out all the accessories? what i would really like to keep the interior as oringinal as possible and everthing esle modern. Let me know what you guys think thanks

 

It is not a drop in, but can be made to fit and is an awesome engine setup.

I have a bud in the Raleigh NC area with one.

i had one in my truck outa a 93 mark 8.. it is an easy fit, just need the whole car to do it rite. go to the engine swap area of this site and search 4.6 swap into ford and you'll find my thread..

 

I thought one guy on here put that engine in a 67 or 68-

 

well just bought the whole car for $500, now just need to find a cv front end, that wont be a problem there are loads of them here in the wrecking yard.
thanks 79 f150 guy, i read your post last night to bad you never finished it. and i will look for the other posts for that motor in the 67, 68. my computer must be a little messed up i tied to search for that and didnt come up with anything.

 

ya i woulda finished it, but i grew tired of that modern engine. i bleed rust and oil, my hart is with the older stuff so it just didnt fit me.. plus some guy gave me 1200.00 for the engine that i had maybe 100.00 in. now i'm in the prossess of putting a 390 in it.

 

didn't ford make a 351 dohc racing engine

 

Possibly but not a production engine. I remember the cover of a HotRod magazine around 1969 and it was all Ford experimental or racing engines and there was a small block OHC
