Engine Swappers Please Look Here
What's up, guys?
I'd looking for info on some of the "major" things (parts, theory, etc) that go into/are required for pulling off some of the engine swaps we're seeing more and more of these days. Where did you find parts? What must be custom made for a particular swap? How much did swap cost? If you have successfully done any of these swaps, please help me out and send an e-mail to kaje5ohh@aol.com and let me know some of the key things that had to be done to the car (K-member/motor mounts/chassis/suspension/etc), engine (intake/air inlet/exhaust/oil pan/fuel system/power-adder/etc), wiring (harness/pcm type/tuning), whatever. I'm also looking for detailed photos of completed engine swaps and/or the parts and process. Please e-mail ASAP if you can offer any insights and images. Kaje5ohh@aol.com. 4.6 in a Fox 351 in a Fox 351 in a '94-'95 4.6 in a '94-'95 5.4 in a Fox/SN-95 or New Edge (why is "Navigator" engine the preferred 5.4?) 5.4 or 302/351 in an '05-'07 Thanks for your help. |

I plan on doing a 4.6 swap into a fox sometime this year and still have some research to do on it. They make a kmember that bolts in a fox and accepts the 4.6 engine. The biggest part of it would be the wiring. You would just have to pull a manual out and trace your wires. The navigator motor is a 5.4 dohc motor most of the time, thats why its preferred.

Seems like this is the place to be for finding guys who know a bit about the stuff I've asked about. Now, if some of you guys step up and put some notes and pics together in an e-mail for me... I'm just on a fact-finding mission, dude. Tryin' to find out the fact from the guys who should know 'em. Those who have done the stuff. I haven't done all of it...yet! LOL |
