yes they will fit, but, you have to have the 4.6 injector pig tails so you can use them. the 5.0 uses EV1 style injectors while the 4.6 uses EV2.

pig tails are the little wiring harnesses that plug into the injectors themselves. you could go to local junkyard and just snip them off a 4.6 car. make sure you leave yourself about 6-8" of wire to work with.

Not all use the EV2. I am running 24# injectors off a Lincoln Mark 8 which are the EV1 style.

I think only the 03/04 Cobras went EV2. I'm pretty sure the injectors on my '03 GT were the EV1 style. Not 100% sure though, would have to pop the hood and take a peek.

FWIW, the 19# injectors I've been running off of a '95 4.6L T-Bird didn't require different pigtails - they just plugged right in. The 24# injectors should be the same deal for the early 90's 4.6's, probably up until they changed a bunch of things on the 4.6 across the board in '96 ... y'know, plastic intake manifold, OBD-II emissions, etc. The earlier 4.6's in the MN12's (T-Bird/Cougar) and Panthers (Crown Vic/Grand Monkey/Town Car) should be the earlier style of connector, but the newer injector outlet type (4-hole disc instead of single pintle design).

Then again, come to think of it, I believe that even the newer Crown Vic 4.6's use the same type of injector pigtails as the older ones, IIRC ... I'll hafta take a peek at some engine bay pics and double-check that...
