ok to start with, a friend of mine has a 97 cobra. he blew the motor. now to get another 4.6l cobra engine is to expencive.

the question is is there another short block that we can use other than the aluminum 4.6l ?

I had heard that lincon grand marquis has the same shorth block. if it is from what year


thanks anything would be helpfull

mark8 is fine for a stockish street car, same rotating assembly as a SOHC GT motor, so you'll need a flywheel for a GT (6 bolt like John said)

I used a mark8 motor in my 97GT.
