Better to find a 4.6 (or 4.0).

The engine would fit but electrics and a couple of missing sensors would confuse things. . .

The 4.2 is probably worth much more money than any P38 engine anyway!

^^WHS^^

And to be honest in standard guise the 4.2 is not more reliable than a 4.6, so why take the step down in power?
