Not without major modifications. You'd need the heads, cams, gears, timing chain, timing chain cover, pistons, etc. You'd be better off getting a used DOHC off of eBay.

It's possible, but like he said, you'd be better to swap the whole motor... and I'd say stick with the 2v- it's better for low end torque and with that big of a car, torque is your friend.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

Also, it won't fit unless it is an 03 or newer model.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment

Oh don't say that. With enough work anything can be made to fit. Probably would be cheaper and easier to swap the whole motor tho. I'd prolly pick up a wrecked Mark VIII or something to gut the engine from.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

This Marauder motor was slammed into a 1993 Crown Vic. It was later sold on eBay when the car was totalled...Attached FilesComment

Don't forget all the Bondurant cars...all cobra powered. With 6 speeds. YOu can buy the whole engine/trans assembly NEW from ford for like 5-6K, which is a hell of a deal.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Notice in the picture how the engine should be hitting the wiper box corner. This is why a 4v engine will not fit on a pre 03 vic. The wiper clearance issue. Who needs wipers with rain X anyway?Comment

I just noticed...how the hell do you put a 4v in a 93? Install the whole wiring harness also? Thats the only way to do it right, EEC IV vs EEC V. Not exactly just a motor swap.Comment
