MCLARK · January 9th, 2010, 06:10 PM

thats going to be a lot of work. your going to need new suspension, rear end, tranny, and a lot more. hopefully someone with more knowledge and info can help you out with this. good luck tho! post up some pics

what engine are you buying?

Good Luck,

I would weigh the difference between the two engines to see what type of suspension will work. Also are you going to be keeping the stock rear end in it or are you upgrading to an 8.8? Have you measured the distance between the new location of transmission to the rear end? I'm betting you will need to have a custom fabricated driveshaft and if you need a new rear end, I have an 8.8 with 3:73 for sale.

i would say if you have the money to purchase than engine. but a new edge gt without a motor. or that is wrecked for cheap. buy a few parts and have a nice sleeper...

its a 351 motor, and the 2005 is still a 4.6 so it shouldnt be hard at all to fit it in there. If you do need anything there is so much aftermarket for the 351 you can probably find prefab stuff to fit it.

You will need a beefier rear end, and get the drag suspension stage three from steeda

does your v6 have the pony package with the upgraded suspension?

Ninjawafers! · May 14th, 2010, 06:02 PM

you will need a new suspension, possibly k-member, wiring harness, computer (or a bad ass tune), tranny, rear end, upgraded brakes, upgraded fuel system, and prolly more i cant think of.
