Alright. I'm disconnecting the motor mounts on the v6. Could y'all tell me how many bolts a 2000 v6 has to the trany?

Why not just buy a older 5.0? You can get them pretty cheap. Just my .02.

Ok two questions can my build have an automatic transmission with the computer for the transmission but not the engine? And if I get the AODE transmission is that a fought transmission?

Yes and no. On cars.com I found even new edge GT's going for 6-8k and older fox bodies for around 5ish.

Never really saw the point I'm engine swaps to a old engine. Saw some people swapped the new 5.0 into a new edge that was pretty cool.

Older engines are a lot easier to work on, parts are cheaper, easier to diagnose problems, and the reaction from people to see a newer car with a Holley double pumper carb

Doesn't the old 5.0's barely pump out 200hp never mind how much it lost as the years went on. I don't know anything about it so I won't judge but I do agree that it's easier to work on the older engines. No electronics and all that.

I can respect your opinion the coyote is the ultimate build. But I want something that I know all about. And I want something old school in my new edge that I know will work and that will be a tribute to 5.0. It's my dream

On a carb build how do you do the wiring as far as engine speed, rpm, oil pressure, h2o temperature, and amp ?

Huh the 2005 v6 mustangs pumped out the same hp numbers as the older v8's but not the same torque.

I could go with a 351 but that would be more expensive?

Or the same sound. Gotta love v8s with with off road exhaust 😄. Also I feel they were underrated. A buddy of mine has a 94 cobra which is 240hp stock that with only gears and o/r X pipe dynoed just over 300hp.

Probably not by much.

Are you planning on rebuilding whatever 302 you get. If so, why not go stroker, 331 or 347? I think that would be sick
