What did the plugs look like? IN all honesty, you've gotten about twice its useful life out of it anyhow.

NOw, you can easily find these engine for next to nothing. Hell you can eve move up to a 3V with nothing more than a different TB and cable and a new tune. Don't send it to the scrap pile yet!

well today there is no knocking.... so i fonno WTF.

i still have yet to pull the plugs.

but i did find what i belive is my problem.

as stated before even when the car was over heating the fan was not on...

well i knew it was a two stage fan ( high and low) and i had never heard it on hi. so i found what replay it was the hardway.. and well no one stocks it.. so i have to order it... weird to cause no other lincoln takes this replay infact its not listen at vato zone or orileys.

the relay was burt up on the power side.. and cracked.. also very hot to the touch... so im more then sure it was not working correctly... if i un plug it and plug it back it it works untill it clicks off then it never comes back on,

The 4V swap is more trouble than it's worth.

Get on some Mustang, CV, Lincoln, T-bird/Cougar, Explorer/Mountaineer, or F150 forums and start browsing the classifieds. I see them anywhere from $100-$1500 depending on miles and build.

Personally, I'd go for the '02 later Mountaineer or Explorer 2V as they use the aluminum block. Why not save 75lbs while you're at it. Just be careful with what you're looking at as Romeo blocks used a 6 bolt crank, while the Windsor blocks used 8 bolts like the Cobra and Mach 1. Being as your car is an '01, it could be supplied with either or. Of course if you do get a different one, all you'd need to change is a flex plate.
