Hi guys i bought a 2000 mustang gt with a blown up engine, over the weekend i bought an engine out of a 1997 Lincoln town car. now i know that they are not the exact same engine (Romeo & Windsor) and that i will lose about 35 ponies, that doesn't bother me much because i just want to get it running. i want to know exactly what i need to swap over to make it fit/work. thanks in advance.

The problem you will run into is without the PI heads on your lincoln motor you won't be able to use the existing GT intake. If I'm not mistaken, the intake faces the opposite side for the lincoln. Can you swap the heads from the bad GT engine?

Heads are no good, I have the throttle body off and it looks like I'll be able to bolt my mustang throttle body right up to it. And I actually think the Lincoln has a PI intake on it. It has a aluminum piece up front
