#1 of 4 LS engine swap by crazyhorse6 Aug 28, 2008 (4:00 pm)
I have found a 2001 Lincoln LS with no motor. It had a V8, how much changing is involved to install a V6 ? Is it feasable? Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Aug 28, 2008 4:05 pm) akirby (Aug 29, 2008 4:10 pm) crazyhorse6 (Aug 30, 2008 3:25 am)

Replying to: crazyhorse6 (Aug 28, 2008 4:00 pm) You'd have to change the PCM (computer) or at least get it reflashed. The front suspension is different (may just be the springs and shocks) due to the difference in engine weight. The rear end gears are also different. That V8 is a sweet engine - it's a Ford version of Jaguar's AJV8. Stick with the V8. Replies to this message: crazyhorse6 (Aug 30, 2008 3:25 am)
