OR Could I just install the 3 valve "head" from the 4.6L V8 mustang motor and put it onto the regular 4.6L motor? Thank you for reading. OH STOP STARING ! YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT !

But someone got a performance shop to do it.. the only thing is.. No one knows who car it was, or even really the shop.. since it was only pictures that have been seen of the car... So can it be done, yes, but surposely the car was pretty much rewired for the '05+ style engine/tranny.. even down to the Dash and drive by wire throttle... you can do a Mark VIII 4.6L DOHC swap alot more easier thou.. and with the right tuning and such, you can have the same power as the 3V 4.6L with alot less install issues...

He does some of the Island shows with it. It's a pretty tight squeeze, less than an inch on each side. It's a lot of work and don't forget your chequebook. A lot cleaner install than the standard 4.6 though, being coil over. Last Edited By: supercede 04/30/2008 07:20 AM. Edited 1 times.
