hey yall first time poster. about to buy a 2001 4v cobra, guy stats he busted oil pan and it killed passenger side head. says he shut it off as soon as he heard the noise. should I worry about it needing more than a head and oil pan? ik it has c heads but can't find what other cars are interchangeable. also is there another 4.6 4v that is drop in ready minus intake? thanks in advance. guy only wants $2500 for a clean title 84,xxx miles.

I'm sure 'guy' will say whatever to get it out of his driveway.

Now, I don't know but I would entertain the possibility that the engine is a paper weight.

Bad news: that engine is probably screwed.

Good news: There's plenty of 4.6 4Vs in Lincoln Aviators, Lincoln Mark VIIIs, Mercury Marauders, Mustang Mach 1s, and Mustang Cobras.

All will physically bolt in, but there are variances. Read up on those before pulling an engine at the junkyard.
