can it swap?

maybe a dumb question but since they are the same chassis, would the new 5.0 be swappable into my 2008 mustang for instance? or is it completely different

Sure you could if you have the time the smarts and the dollars to do it. I can't imagine it would be cheap though.

With enough time and money, you can do anything.

I believe ford said it will swap... but i bet for how much it will cost you could supercharge and get a built short block for your 4.6

Can you? Sure, but why?


Other options, built bored/stroked 3v
5.4 swap, if going full swap I'll go for the 700hp capable thanks.

Because it hasn't been done yet. If I had the cash flow right now, i'd do it just to be the first.

good idea. either way the engine is gonna be out of the car. which do you have the money and time for? to swap the 4.6 for the Coyote or stroke the 4.6 to a 5.0? personally i wouldnt do either. id build as much power N/A out of that 4.6.

In PA, you can only do the same engine swap, if you go to a different size, you'll need to apply for a reconstructed title; which blows.

I dont know if the law applies in other states, but I'd be sure to cover my a$$ just in case.

Officials claim it protects consumers against disrepaired flood cars and fraud. But I can't see how...
