Default Calling you swap experts

So I have decided to build a Mustang. Driving a few V8's lately has given me the bug big time. Looking at some Auto auctions I can get a 99-04 V6 Stang pretty cheap. How hard would it to be to swap in a built 302 with another transmission, say a c4. Do they have motor mounts for the swap or is it a fab yourself deal?

There is a built sn95 (yellow) for sale on Haines Road in St.Pete between 62nd ave and us19 if you'd rather not have the headache of building it yourself....

It's pretty much going to be a build it myself deal. I though about just going with a Fox but rather go and be different.

im assuming you want efi? you need: kmember...summit sells new fms stand alone wiring harness for around 200.00+...computer...mechanical gauges...msd electronics...a return style fuel system. that would get your motor up and running...all the stuff like the ac and other accessories would be the headache...its not much different then a 4cyl swap...

going carb would eliminate some parts
and be a little simpler...

i was going to do a push rod engine in the fakesnake (2000 v-6) but decided to go modular...and i had everything to do a procharged 347ci...

Costs a lot more to swap the focus and a lot more fab work. Plus I still need a dd.
