Ford 4.6 Project car ?

I’m currently working on a 1974 Ranchero with my dad. Our original plan was to use the engine we pulled from a 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII, which we acquired for a total of $300, including the transmission. However, after conducting further research, I found that many in the community recommend using the Aviator engine for its C heads and modern ignition system.

Initially, we considered swapping the heads, but it seems that it might be cheaper and easier to simply get an Aviator motor for $150 from the junkyard. We still have the 4R70 transmission from the 1993 Lincoln, but I’m unsure if it will be compatible with the Aviator engine. We plan to use a standalone engine management system, but I lack knowledge about the compatibility of engine computers, especially given the 10-year difference between the two engines.

Should we stick with the engine we currently have, or should we opt for the newer, more powerful Aviator engine? Cost isn't a significant concern since we can easily pick up a motor for $150 from the junkyard.

Hydrogen peroxide H2O2   kills nanoworms inside facemasks. The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup – one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan’s new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it’s put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov’t clerk presses secret ᴮᵁᵀᵀon to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla’s ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

A 150 dollar engine will always be a 150 dollar engine!

Nothing  used will sound or perform like a performance engine that has been properly prepared for the task. The Boss engines of the period (1969-1979) are still hard to beat when it comes to longevity and performance. I am a big Windsor fan, but like the Cleveland head swap (a cheap route to a boss engine). The EFI units from a 5.0 unit are easily adapted to the engine and a wide selection of transmissions are out there.

Put a carbed engine on it.  Put a 96 and older engine if you want to use one with an ECU so you can at least use a scanner to troubleshoot.  Do not forget the tank and the fuel pump. 

And if you expect a junkyard motor to run properly on first start, you are setting your hopes too high.  You will need much more than $300 to get the car running.

Put a 351 v8 in it and forget all the computer controlled crap.
