I think it would be very difficult. There are many engines that will fit in the bay without cutting the shock towers. I'd much rather go the 5.0 or 5.8. with all the aftermarket pieces, you can get all the power you need,and they fit nicely. Or you could go 390,428 cu in.(that dont fit so nicely)which were also available for that year. I would do anything that would allow me to use stock mounts. I dont think you want the headaches of fabricating for the 4.6. Just my 2 pennies.

go withthe 351. Its the small block, should be just fine.

Have you seen the new shock tower notching kits available downunder?
Strut and Brake Conversion Kits, Power Rack and Pinion Kits.
You can see the whole range of products at http://www.rrs-online.com

There is an issue that came out last month of mustang and fords with a 68 cougar and a 4.6L sohc. Towers were hammered out a little.</P>
