So the injectors are on their way, the parts list is compiled, and all of the cosmetics are figured out.
And nothing else is going to happen for a bit. I started feeling sick late Friday night, and by Saturday morning felt like death would be preferable to breathing. I did an online consult with a doctor who sent me for COVID testing, and I'm awaiting the results. A few hours later, my mother, who had insisted earlier in the week that she just "had allergies" and only went to the doctor because my sister and I both insisted, got the results of her COVID test back, and it's positive. I have zero doubt at this point mine will be as well, so I can't work (nor access my 4.6, which is sitting next to my toolbox at work) for at least the next week or so.
Allright, enough of that depressing
.
Here's the list of parts I need to acquire to make the 4.6 run, and hopefully make it fit with relative ease:
Lincoln Continental oil pan and pickup tube
Microsquirt
Ford EDIS-8
1999+ 4v valve covers
1999+ 4v COPs
GM 3-bar MAP sensor
Lincoln Continental forward exhaust manifold
MMR IMRC delete plates
Mark VIII air intake
Flywheel
Clutch set
SFI-approved balancer
TR3650 rebuild kit
Manual master cylinder or power booster delete kit
MMR 96-98 Cobra fuel rails
Airtex E2000 (n/a) or Aeromotive Phantom 340 Stealth (turbo) Fuel pump
I already have the 4.6 4v, the transmission itself, an EGR delete,
Hurst shifter, clutch cable, manual pedals from a II, stainless exhaust manifold studs, BMW alternator bolts for the intake manifold, and the factory injection harness to splice to the Microsquirt and EDIS-8 harnesses.
The possibility of going turbo in the future with this thing is very real, as the block can handle essentially infinite power, and the stock crank in these engines has been proven past 600rwhp. The connecting rods are the weak link, and are still good for 500+ RWHP according to the experts.
