I am currently in Iraq making a few dollars. When I go home for some vacation, I plan on getting a 09 STA V8. I would like to make some upgrades to the intake and so forth but I have a question or two.
A salesman at the dealer told me that the 4.6L 3V V8 is the same engine that they put in the Mustang GT's. Knowing that...could I swap out the intake and throttle body from a Mustang GT onto a Sport Trac? I have been looking at K&N filter chargers and I think I can cut apart and fit something to feed the oval TB. But is the intake and TB a direct bolt on replacement? Will the throttle linkage hook up to it? Does it use the same TB position sensor connector? Are there any different vaccum source connections on the intake manifold I need to worry about?
Thanks for you help.
