motor question

[vnms96]

i have the chance to pick up a fresh 99 lincoln avaitor 4.6 4v. the guy says its the same as a cobra motor, is that true? and would it go right in place of the motor in my 96? the price is to good to pass up if it will work. oh yea its motor only. no intake or stuff like that.

as in shortblock? If it comes with the heads i would do it. Its actually more like the mach motor than the cobra

It is the same as a manual trans Mach motor except that it has a different intake and has a cast crank.

its a long block. it doesnt come with an intake. will my intake and other parts work on this motor?

I always thought C heads wouldnt work with a 96-98 intake. So I'd assume no. I could very well be wrong...

the intake will not work.

ok so what will i need to make it work in there? wouldn't that motor be better then the original?

You will need an intake from a Mach or 99/01 Cobra, throttle and cruise cables, and a coolant crossover. I also think the front cover is different, but I'm not sure.

he wants 1200 for the motor. the bottom end has been checked and is in perfect order and the heads have just been freshened up. would it be worth it?

You will also have to modify your fuel rails to bolt to the mach 1 or 99/01 intake. Or just buy aftermarket ones(aeromotive, upr, etc.)
