depends on mileage, 5 speed? interior? you could always rebuild the 4.6 or find one out of a 95 or newer stang..or an f150.. i would do it. if you have the cash.

5 speed transmissions were only offered in 89-95 SC's, LX's only came with AOD's (89-93) or 4R70W's (94-97). Also, Mustangs didn't receive the 4.6L until 96.

If you're just wanting to swap in a stock replacement 4.6L, it's a pretty simple job.

The tranny in the 4.6L won't work with anthing but a 4.6L or 5.0L motor.If you are going to replace the motor I would suggest putting the 5.0 motor in if the computer and wiring harness are the same!

Swapping out the 4.6L for a 3.8L SC motor would be alot of work.

The price sounds fair as long as it's in good shape.

I bought my SC for $600 with a bad motor and rebuilt tranny!

Wrong. The 4.6/5.4L bellhousing bolt pattern is different from the 3.8/4.2/5.0L bellhousing bolt pattern.
