Will a 4.6 Romeo short block out of a 2003 Mustang interchange with the 4.6 Romeo block in my 1998 Mustang GT? thanks

yes and no. Matching a set of non-PI heads with a PI bottom end is likely to give an unacceptable CR.

What are you trying to accomplish? Why not use a full PI motor?

That setup would yield a CR well into the 8's....which on an N/A motor will run like a DOG!

It will run like a dog no matter what you plan to do with the car. Low compression is not good, it's old school thinking no matter what you do with the car like I posted in another thread.
