Hello, im new to this forum, but im hoping for opinions on hard this swap would be. I have a 1995 ford thunderbird that's totalled, and it has the 4.6 v8 engine in it. And i also have a 1995 v6 mustang. So i am wondering what the possibility of putting the 4.6 from the t-bird into the mustang is and if ill run into any major issues. Thank you!!!

There are slight differences between the 95 and 96 4.6 modular.
Short answer is, Yes you will run into major issues. Some include:

Short answer is, Yes you will run into major issues. Some include:
- This project needs a motor wiring harness from the V8 Mustang. The T-Bird harness isn't likely to work.
- You will need a V8 Mustang K-member. The T-bird has a different design.
- The project to convert a V6 Mustang to V8 is not trivial.
