Donor Crown Vic PI sourced!! Engine Question

Obtained a 2008 PI with around 140,000 miles off of government auction. The whole car is in great shape. Would I be able to use the 4.6 engine for fabrication mock up (mounts) in preparation for a new Ford 5.0 Coyote or would it be best to wait until I obtain the final engine and transmission? Plan ...

I'm looking at getting a 2003 or newer crown vic from government auction. I would like to do a full-frame swap, but utilize a different engine and transmission for the pr...
