    Mach 1 Mustang Marauder Engine Replacement

    How would this work? I thought they were the same, the mechanic says its slightly different, due to the hard task of finding a Marauder engine replacement, its the best options. What say yous?

    I am partial to the rebuild the original engine option. Any desired enhancements can be applied at that time. Of course that presumes simple wear, and not a catastrophic event that let sunshine into the block.

    An aviator engine requires swapping the timing cover, oil pan and intake, but is identical.....and usually $2000 cheaper.

    I believe that the location of the alternator is an issue on a direct Mach 1 swap. If I remember correctly it will hit the frame on the Marauder. Pretty sure you can get around this by swapping some parts around. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

    Mach1 alternator is in the same location as MM. You must be thinking of a Terminator.
    AFAIK the automatic Mach1 is almost a direct swap. upper intake is wrong but everything else is the same IIRC.

    I believe I must have been thinking Cobra instead of Mach 1. Thanks for the clarification.

    Aviator engine in my car right now. $850 and its been a good driver.

    If you are doing this from an Aviator, Zack knows exactly what to do. He did mine.

    The Mach 1 engine, if it's from an auto trans car, is the same. There are a few externals that are different like exh manifolds, intake lid, egr crap and stuff but all of that is easily swapped. The manual trans engine has an 8 bolt cranks and therefore requires a new flex plate.
