2003 2V 4.6L in a 95 Town Car?

[tacoman123]

Can I put a 2003 2V 4.6L into a 95 Town Car?
Will this be a direct replacement?
Are there any differences between the two blocks?
What would I have to look out for when doing this?
Can I keep the computer and wiring harness the same?
Thanks

The question is WHY?

If you dont mind me asking.

Round here-NYC- you can pick up 4.6's for $200-$300 complete out of taxi cabs(whome are Town Car's, and Crown Vics).

it's going to require a lot of parts swapping - some from the old engine and some from the new... but it can be done. Most of the wiring will be similar, but the fuel rails and throttle cable will have to be changed because the intakes are totally different. Didn't the 95 TCs still have the all aluminum intake? The computer will work with the swap, though a chip would greatly improve the driveability. The sensors will be the same, but you will have to remove the wires from the 95 engine, split the plastic open, and route the wires by hand. I'm sure there are a few other things, but these are the major ones...

Yes, they did have aluminum intakes.
