I bet you could get the 4v engine for not too much... maybe search CL for a complete Lincoln to get the engine/harness from, maybe a wrecked 4v Cobra to get the complete wiring harness, ECU, instrument cluster, etc. from. I see wiring harnesses go on ebay for aboutu $100 here and there. I would wonder if it would be easier to swap the entire car's wiring than to wire in the 4v harness, splicing into the stock 5.0 harness.Transmissions shouldnt be hard, any 4.6 trans will work, as well as flywheels and bell housings, crossmember.overall, i think you could easily do the swap for $4k or less.</blockquote>
