If it'll fit between the wheel wells it's doable. Might have to make some changes to the driveshaft to make it work. You'll need the PCM from the 4.6 engine as well. Be sure to upgrade the front suspension or your handling will be nil even at lower speeds.

The V6 and V8 mounts aren't very similar if I remember. All you have to do is get some V8 mounts though. T-bird and cougar are identical (assuming they're both MN12's)
