Are there any parts you can swap off of a 4.6 onto a 5.4?

I heard they are basically the same engine.

Can you swap in Mustang cams, or anything like that?

Just wondering.

Look for a guy on TCCoA buy the name of J. Miller. He's known for his MN12 Cougar with a 5.4 in it so he's basically the resident 5.4 expert. :) If you're planning to put a 5.4 in an MN12, be prepared to spend money and do some serious work, cuz its a hella-tight fit.

J. Miller

Hopefully he'll run across my post.

You can get 5.4L's pretty cheap. (Compared to GT engines)

They would be worth it if you could tune them a bit more toward HP than TQ.

Something to look into, I guess.

    Engine - 4.6L & 5.4L

    Engine - 4.6L & 5.4L
    I have a 96’ Cougar when I got it the top Rad hose had a small leak fixed topped off. Now the temp gauge fluctuates constantly and it wants to heat up quickly at idle. I’ve changed the rad the thermostat and pump with no change but I did change the cap and that seemed to help. Even today at 35*...

  3. Coolant Change

    Engine - 4.6L & 5.4L
    Hey folks, long time no post. Not that I post often... I've noticed my coolant becoming a bit rusty and low. I'd gone into a general repair shop and the guy immediately warned me that it would start a lot of issues to do a coolant flush because my car is so old (96). It's almost as if he was...

  5. Cross Breeding the Coyote Crank & Teksid Block

    Engine - 4.6L & 5.4L
    Back in February, I had posted on one of MikeB's threads that I was attempting to mate a Coyote crank into a Teksid block, well it finally came about. The test car was my black with gold 96 Cougar that I took on the Epic Drive. The car had a Mark VIII engine topped with Cobra intake, degreed...

  6. 3.8L SC to 4.6L Terminator Swap

    Engine - 4.6L & 5.4L
    I think maybe this might be interesting to a few...and may answer many of my questions. I Broke a piston in my 95 SC recently and stumbled across a good deal on a wrecked 10th Anniv Cobra Convertible. So now the T-Bird has been snake bitten and is morphing into a fire breathing screamer...very...
