I bought a 4.6 for my gt and bought patriot performance stage 2 heads for it but was looking at summit today and found some motors with more cubic inches and i would have a long block and not be out any money if i can sell my motor and heads. Has anyone dropped a chevy 350 in thier car or anyone know of some1 who has and regreted it?

(I know some people disagree with dropin a gm in a ford but as long as it is american it doesn't matter to me i'm just looking for horsepower and torque)

It all comes down to how good you are with a wrench and how much money you have. Anyone can do anything with a car given the talent and money. On the other hand.....Id make sure things fit up right before jumping in deep.

I would forget the Chevy idea and go with what you have. In a street rod yea, but with your car no, I would stick with what is supposed to be in there. With the OBD II you can tune it and make good HP with the set up you have. I have some goodies for those Patriots heads and your motor, see link below.

to use a chevy tranny you have to cut a hole behind your original shifter as because chevy's trnsmissions are longer and the shifter is further back than the mustangs.. fyi

Thanks for the helpful posts as for the chevy and tranny i know a guy that just bought a bellhousing and got it to bolt up i'm gonna figure up everything and see what it will cost to do both of them.

if your looking to do a motor swap the ford modular 5.4 is the easiest way to go if your looking to gain some displacement. the 5.4 is a direct swap. it will bolt up just like another 4.6 would. the 2V is a little easier simply because of size and will fit under your stock hood. im doing the swap now and i decided to go with a 5.4 4V because it still fits and i really wanted the benefits of the 4V heads. If you have any questions about either 5.4 swap i could tell you everything i know and there are a few people on here who are a wealth of information.

if your considering a chevy, go BBC. the chevy in my sig cost less than putting a KB and cams on my stock 4.6. if it was not for emission laws it would be in it LOL

all this pro-chevy talk sounds so traitorous...

Ford in a Ford just like god intended. Resale value would be nil with a Chevy in it. It would probably be hard to sell too.

I'm not worried about selling if i were to even consider it i can put the stock 4.6 in it
