Need a Motor

CrewChiefLite · 11-29-2006, 03:21 PM

Looking for a 4.6 Windsor motor, complete and running. I'm pretty sure these came in Thunderbirds, Mark VIII's, Crown Vic's, Mustangs to 2000, etc.

4.6 Windsor?

Yeah, the 4.6's were made at either the Windsor or the Romeo plants. The W motors have an 8-bolt crank, the R's have a 6-bolt. I picked up a '97 Thunderbird with a blown motor to give to my mom for Christmas (after fixing the motor, of course) but after running a few tests we determined that it had head damage as well as a cracked piston, so I figured it would be easier/cheaper to replace the entire motor than rebuild it all.
