59 Ford Motor Change

Has anyone put a 4.6 32 valve motor in a 59? I have a 59 without a motor and Lincoln Mark 8 with one. Wouldnt mind introducing them....

I would assume things would be tight around that steering box.

Re: 59 Ford Motor Change

I do believe its been done (maybe not a '59 but early 60's), the Mod motors ARE huge tho, bigger than any of the ohv designs. just takes fab skills and lots of measuring...

Re: 59 Ford Motor Change

Thanks guys! Yea, looks like in a 59 would require some major moving of things. 60 and up not as hard!
