For a while, for the RX-7, I was thinking of a 4.6 DOHC from a Mark VIII since they are really really cheap compared to the Cobra engine, and they're still all aluminum, and so what if it's only 290hp? It's still a ridiculously smooth, linear powerplant.
It will fit in an FB. Probably better than in a Mustang.
But the transmission options... oi! Nothin' good for a Ford unless you don't want overdrive.
