Lincoln engine swap

[Jamesbondo]

Hey, Does anyone know if a 1996 lincoln continental 4.6 will swap in to a 1995 lincoln continental without any problems.I bought a 95 with a blown engine and have a friend that will sell me his 96 engine. Any help would be great.

It should work just fine. I'm not to familiar with the continentals. If there are any differences, you can re-use parts off your old engine to take care of it.

Good luck!

Absolutely. There's almost no underhood differences between '95 and '96. That engine will be a straight drop-in.

Did I say drop-in? I meant lift-in!

I've seen quite a few motor or transmission repairs on 2nd Gen. Continentals and I'm telling you true, the only conceivable way to re& re that engine is to drop the subframe with the motor and transmission still on it, split them apart on the ground (Ford Dealerships have a specially designed stand/dolly to hold this while we work on it), and then lift it all back in and complete all hose and wiring hookups.

Good luck!
