The engine you are referring to is the 4.6 liter V8....probably not the same 4.6 motor either. Crown Vics don't have 6 cyl motors. The Mustang is rear wheel drive, so the engine should not be mounted sideways. The 6 cyl actually gets good reviews as the base engine in the Mustang when equipped with a manual tranny.
