Hey, remember that $500 P71?

I own it.

My brother checked it out and it was everything the previous owner said it was. The motor is wonkie as hell, so I'm looking at solutions, either engine swap or diagnose what's wrong and fix it.

I really want to do a Mustang 4.6 and 5 spd swap.

No. The T-45 swap is incredibly straight forward. Crownvic.net is my new friend.

Great purchase! Now what exactly does a wonky engine sound like?

Ecoboost swap from rolled F150?

Probably sounds like a rotary with a blown head gasket or something.

Make it a marauder? Dual cam goodness.

So... we know that the 5.4 triton swaps. We know that the supercharged out of the termi cobra/lightning is a 5.4.... see where i'm going with this?
