I've found 4.6 SOHC engines for good prices on the Internet. If I buy a World Class T5, a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, a billet-steel flywheel, and an aluminum driveshaft. Will they bolt up to the 4.6? I know I need a different K-member, and the engines come complete with accessories and computer of course, from a five-speed, but I don't know much else beyond that.

As far as I know you can not bolt up a T5 bellhousing to a 4.6 block...You need either a T45, T56, or T3650

You can get a tailshaft for a T56 with a mechanical speedo.

I'm doing it right now to the fastback.
Just depends what you want out of the car.
But no the t-5 won't work. I have an extra t-45 i'm looking to sell though.
The booster on your car would need to be changed. Manual brakes probably.
Even if the tranny is electrical who cares right. Just change your gauges for electric ones woo hoo.
