it is a lot of work incloding rewireing the car and a new computer, if u r just gana drop a stock v8 in it and not do any hting to it, then id say go out and buy a gt vert.

I wouldnt buy it. As far as an engine swap....it would be easier if you just put the 4.3 stroker engine in the car. That would give it alot more rumble and all the electronics would stay the same. __________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/shadowx/mustang_pics

You will need the computer out of the GT, and the k-member, and of course the engine. Im not positive but pretty sure that the V8 and V6 shared the 4R70W auto tranny. __________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/shadowx/mustang_pics
