engine swap
well, since no one wants to buy my car, i was juts wondering, what would you need to do a engine swap from v6 to v8 and how much a gt - cobra crate engine will run. just a general break down of what needs to be done.

It will cost ya quite a bit of $$$ to pick up a new crate engine, your best off just keeping your eyes peeled for a used mod motor, and if all else fails, spray that v6!

Well its going to be A LOT of work!!! Im fixing to do the samething w/ my v6. Ill tell ya, trying to make a v6 mustang fast is like trying to make a 4dr honda fast (i cant believe i just used the words honda and fast in the same sentence 
). So its basically an oxy-moron.
It took me about 2yrs to get the motor/tranny/wiring for my swap and I still have parts to get. Take your time and spend the money where it needs to go. Youll be happier in the long run I promise.

hehe, if the car was taken off my hands i could, but money is still owed on it so i cant get rid of it unless someone bought it for what the payoff is which is 16.5k
