Engine Q's

[usn86gt]

I've got a chance to buy an 4.6L engine from a Panther chassis(Towncar I believe) for $50. The guy say it's out of a running car that came in with the rear half trashed. Will this motor, or block and heads mainly, bolt into my car? I plan on useing it for a long term build-up project. Should I grab it up?
Thank Guys

For $50 bucks....I would. At least you can take your time and build the motor then put it in your ride, and you don't have a car sitting there with no motor. Just make sure the motor look ok.

50 bones... what the heck are you doing asking us? just buy the damn thing, and if don't work, you can easily be able to sale it for 100 bucks...

True . I just wanted to make sure the block bolts up.

I assume that the Towncar is still rear wheel drive. Just be careful and make sure its not a 4.6 for a front wheel drive car, there was a guy on here about a year ago with a 4.6 from a front wheel drive Lincoln and he had all sorts of problems trying to get it to go into a Mustang (motor mount points that had not been tapped, also something about a different bell housing size for the transmission, etc.)
