Reply to "Anyone here done the 4.6 DOHC swap?"

Hello Gentlemen,
I'm also interested in the 4.6L DOHC engine conversion. What interface components need to be purchased/modified and do you have an amount for a reasonable cost for these components.

Bell housing:
Can it be modified or does one need to purchase an adapter plate. If a plate is used, how far does that push the transaxle back from the engine interface plane? What's the expected cost of the plate?
I've compared my bell housing to a 4.6 block bolt pattern and it looks as if the top 2 fastener locations line up, as well as the next 2 fasteners outboard and down each side. The dowel pin holes need to be enlarged so the fastener can now pass though it. What is done for other fastener points?

What is generally done for the Engine mounts? It looked to me like I could easily fabricate some. If purchasing them is recommended, how much do they generally cost?

What other components need to be modified and what is recommended. I.e. coolant lines, throttle cable, fuel supply components...

Does anyone have any sort of electrical schematic for grafting the 4.6 electronics into the Panteras lovely electrical systems, and what are the recommended upgrades.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Nate Weber
