Hey guys,
I have a 2000 Mustang GT. Well threw a connecting rod in cylinder #8. Since it's in need of a new motor, I've been looking for something to put in there while I build the 4.6 that is bad. I found what I'm hoping is a junkyard jewel, but before I go ahead and get it I need some help. The motor is out of a 99 Lincoln town car. The guy only wants 50.00 for it. It's in great shape. Here are some numbers off the motor I'm looking at:
Heads: RF-F5AE-6090
Block: (was Hard to read) XY827628
Timing cover: F8ZE-6C086-BA
back of block above crank: F5AE-6K318-AA
Now, I know this is a romeo Block, giving its a 6 bolt crank, not a 8 bolt. and the valve covers are 11 bolt. Here are questions:
1) is this a NPI motor?
2) If it is, can I switch over my PI Windsor heads (using the Windsor timing cover)
3) Will this motor sync up to my T-45 Tranny with a 6 bolt flywheel?
4) if it will sync up, what all will I need for the whole swap?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I'm in a bind, I've got no money to get something really good, heck, I can barely make it from paycheck to paycheck, and I'm short on time.
