Just throwin this out there as a concept. I looked at the tech dept for 4.6 area, searched, and looked through whatever archives I could find on 4.6/5.4 engine swaps into older Panthers (i.e. 86-91) and didn't see any. So.....my question is, has anybody ever inquired about swapping one of these engines into an older Panther? I was looking for a 5.0L to replace the engine that I got in my 86 CV and realized that in my area there are a lot more current 5.4L SOHC engines out of wrecked Navigators, Expeditions, and F-150s than older 5.0Ls. I figure that I would have to retain the computer,wiring harnesses, and the transmission that goes with the engine, however, I know that I am just scratching the surface and that there is probably a ton of custom fabrication work. Any ideas on the scope of the work involved with this swap would be welcome. This is just a curiosity though. Thank you for your help.
