Yes, you can...they are both on the SN95 platform. It will be a bit of a PITA though. At the very least you'll need:
ECU from a pre 1996 car.
K-Member from a 94-95 Mustang
Misc. wiring harnesses
Different flywheel and likely the bellhousing
Some other bits... |

The engine ECU is different. You don't have this, the car won't run. PERIOD. The bellhousing bolt pattern is different too. The 4.6 flywheels is bigger too. The starters are different and mount differently. It's not as easy as you think it is to do this mod. There are other differences too..but it's been awhile since I played around with a 4.6/5.0 |

Let us know how that works out. I've done a few engine swaps, and don't recall actually welding it into the car, but now I'm curious... |

I'd suggest asking these questions on a Mustang-specific forum where members may have already done his swap.
Best of luck. |

If you are going to weld the new engine in I hope you are using a cutting torch to take the old one out.  T...R...O...L...L? but to what end? |

The vibrations will break and crack the welds ... as stated before. Should use something more heavy duty!  |

Isn't the 4.6 a better engine anyways? |
