swap 5.0 to 1996 4.6

[A+]

Not an easy swap or what? Just wondering if it would be hard to swap a 5.0 into a 96 4.6

If I were you I would forget it.

A 4v 5.0?

It would be a bitch. You would need a K member, the engine, a transmission, wiring harness, and ECM. If you go back to the old OBD1 computer, then you will lose the ability to get it inspected. In fact if you get a touchy inspector, you might not be able to get it inspected since you have swapped in an older series of engine into a newer car.

What about the set up from an explorer?

That would help with the year model of car vs year model of motor emissions troubles, but you still contest with all the other factors. Different k member, wiring harnesses won't be close, etc.

The swap can be done rather easily if you know your way around harnesses and wiring. You'd use the explorer/mountaineer top end and a SCT tuner.

im done with verts and the reason i ask is because i found a 96 just the way i want it, minus the 5.0. It has a 4.6 with a ton of miles.
The main reason i want a 5.0 is because i would feel more comfortable working on the engine if or when it is messes up.

[BMCSean]

So a new 5.0?????

So a new 5.0?????

shhhiiiiii....i wish. But it guess it dont matter since it seems like it will cost a lot of money.
I might have to make another thread titled, "how hard is it to maintain a 4.6"

[BMCSean]

Forget it then, worthless swap.

[white88]

Stick with the 4.6 they're easy to work on too.
