The trans came in a kit, but I had to get a different bell housing, and then pay $712 for a spacer to go between the bell housing and the transmission...

In all seriousness, why? (serious question, not trying to be an Ahole)

Uniqueness? Challenge?

I feel like a blownin Aluminator would just have been a better route but not my car, I am interested to see how this turns out. Has anyone actually done this?

Nope, looks like like it did when it was finished being put together, so not modified

I have posted in the past about a 2006 V6 Mustang hat had a 427 big block dropped into it. It was really cool.

Not as much work as you'd think. It's basically just nuts and bolts.

It depends on who you ask. One guy thinks it's because I'm an asshat.

Yes, and no. Mostly just because I want to.

But it wouldn't have been a better route for me. Besides, aluminator blocks (if you can find one) is crazy money. Besides, it's cooler to say "427".

On your website you mention choosing a V6 over a V8 for gas mileage.
After this swap you can kiss your V6 gas mileage good-bye.

This is going to be an amazing transplant!
