DOHC 4.6L head

mynameisjohn · 04-24-2003, 01:53 AM

Hello to all Mustang owners. I have a question for you. I was wondering if someone could please tell me which ports in the head, specificaly the DOHC 281ci, are what.
I.e. water or oil pressure, or oil drain, ect. I have an image of a head gasket availible at http://www.geocities.com/johnfjamerson/head/9792PT2.jpg
I am trying to do a frankinstien conversion using this head and need to know if it is compatible with the block i am using.

Any help would be much appriciated, you can email me directly at johnfjamerson@hotmail.com or post a picture with the ports indicated on this fourm.

Thank you.

John

kk, Im trying to find a DOHC head that will fit (or be very close) to a Mitsubishi G54B. the 4 cyl 2.6L. The bore on the g54b is only .9mm larger than the 4.6L ford block, and is only a single cam.
If the passages are compatible, i am a step closer to finding what i need. -Ill have a core cut open to see what can be done with it, to see if can be modified to fit my block.
You know, like the Volvo head and the 2.3L ford block. eh?

Thanks again.

Sounds like you would need to do a lot of modifying of the head and block to make that work. A Volvo head on a Ford motor I could understand because Ford owns Volvo so I might expect some shared parts between the two.
