Can I swap to a 2007 Crown Vic 4.6 from my 3.8? I have a 2002. If so I need a list of parts needed to swap the engines. I also wanted to swap to a tr3650. It will be my first project. Thanks!

I have read this post and don't really understand what you are trying to swap into what.

But let's see if I can point you in the correct direction. I'm going to assume that you have a V6 Mustang and you are wishing to swap in a 4.6 from a Crown Vic. If so, then your question is really about a V6 to V8 swap which has been covered a TON. It would help if you did more homework before asking such a broad question.

But let me give you the TLDR; version. Swapping a V8 into a V6 application has a physical part and an electrical part. The physical part is what most people focus upon as it's just "wrenching" right? But consider that the entire car's electrical system works as a system. That means:
  • The sensors
  • the PCM
  • and for purposes of this discussion, the car's body wiring harness.
Are you prepared to swap most of your car's body wiring harness from a donor V8?

Did you end up doing the swap? How did it pan out?
