post icon Ford 4.6 motor swap Sign In

I have a 1999 mercury grand marquis with a 4.6l in it and i am wondering if a 2007 4.6l out of a ford police interceptor would be an easy conversion or not...i figure it should be but it allready looks like the motor mounts are different and im worried about the tensioner pulley(timing cover can be switched in that case?) Thanks in advance for any help!!

Macc; AFAIK, those are two completely different engines. Anything is possible, but at the very least, the computer controls will be your biggest and costliest problem. The PCM and harness out of the 2007 will probably have to be used.

Those Interceptor engines run GREAT. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with the performance if you can get all of the bugs worked out.

You are going to have to swap the intake and all sensors also. The 07 has a completely different set up than the 99. So what you might want to do is have both engines sitting on the floor side by side and look closely to see what will work. The block and heads will be the same. Just the periphials will need to be changed.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
