i've been debating on a 5.0 swap for my 98 mustang. has anyone done the 5.0 swap on a 98 GT before? where are the best deals i can find for a 5.0 block? and is a roller cam head the best one i can go with? what are the reccommendations?

 

i have a 5.0 and wanted to swap for an 03/04 cobra motor. we have entirely different systems and it would become very complicated. why not just use the money to up your 4.6, or sell yours and buy a 5.0? either way you are looking at a cheaper option

 

you could probably use the wiring harness, computer ect from a 94-95 mustang but in all honesty it would be much more cost effective to simply sell your car and buy a 5.0 car if that's what you want

 

pushrod swaps to modular cars are non-trivial.

 

non trivial?

excuse my lack of intellegence, but could you elaborate on that?

 

it's a smartass way of saying a pain in the *** mutherfukkin sunofabitch that takes an insane amount of niggly little parts and drives the cost into the ******* stratosphere.

Not to put too fine a point on it.

 

ah, good point.
