Engine replacement

[b653gunn]

Well i think i might need to replace or rebuild my 96,it is cheaper for me to buy a whole motor out of an truck or grand marques than to rebuild the one i have, i was wondering what long blocks i could use ,what is the compatability for the 4.6,what other model 4.6 donor cars can i use and what years can i use?

Do you just want to do an el-cheapo basic rebuild (rings, bearings) or do you want to build this thing to take a little bit of power (IE: Rods, Pistons, Crank, etc)?

If basic is what you're after, you're pretty much a tie between what it's going to cost you to rip this thing apart, buy/borrow the tools necessary and spring for the new parts or get yourself a used donor engine. I'd look around for a '99-up PI engine for your car to make a little power in the process if the engine swap route is what you're going for.

I would get a whole PI 99+ motor out of a 99+ mustang. it's a drop in replacement for yours

an engine swap is easier and quicker. it's also cheaper. no chance for some dumbo to screw up a tolerance and out your pocketbook.


swap low mileage donor. PI only

use a 99+ gt motor or a motor from a 02+ explorer.

I will have soon a 96gt block with 109k miles, and 99heads already on the block with about 50,000 miles. I will sell it to you pretty cheap if you are into that.

Well if your just looking for a stock replacement dont overlook ebay. I have had alot of friends buy 6.0L chevy engines from dealers on ebay and they have all been pleased with the product recieved. I dont know how I mean it is a chevy but hey to each his own LOL
