The swap can be done jsut takes some work...But it would pay off nicely in the end... __________________ My Junk www.myspace.com/cjobe

I am taking the engine out of my truck to swap in a fully built 5.4, 600hp at the crank with no nitrous. The engine in there now has 325 at the crank. It should make the mustang run pretty good, for being n/a
