The 4.6 Ford SOHC is not a good candidate for any of those vehicles or a kit car. These engines although very reliable are very large especially their width from cylinder head to cylinder head. Also trying to transplant an engine of one manufacturer into another manufacturer's vehicle is not at all practical due to the electronics involved with the engines and transmissions. Not to mention all the extra work involving cooling systems, steering, exhaust, oil pans, etc. etc. etc.
