New motor is a 2v windsor block. Vt engines made it back in the day when they were still a company, but due to ownership issues they closed. 5.0 stroker with 9.2:1 compression ratio. Stage 2 heads and cams. Vt heads and cams are basically the same as foxlake since one of the owners went to foxlake.
If youre leaving the 4.6 stock then sure you could leave the 7.5 in. But once you start modding you might as well do the rear first. Those one wheel peels dont seem like they would be fun in a v8. Haha

I mainly lurk and don't post but now it's time that I give back to the community! I bought a '99 GT w/ manual trans years ago with a salvage title - only 43,000 miles and had numerous upgrades. Runs like a true beast! 3 different shops started the body work and never finished. Shop 1 closed down, shop 2 burned down, shop 3 got to a point where they saw that the car was cut (by shop 1) and refused to do any further work. I just bought a '00 V6 auto and will be using the GT as a donor car. I will start the work once the weather improves and will post as many pix as possible to breathe life into this old thread. Hopefully, it will help others with questions that they may have. This will be my first V6 to V8 swap, however, I have replaced over 20 engines and trans over the years (almost all crown vics 4.6).
