possible or not?

I would love to swap the 3v engine into my 99 GT.

-The 99 mustang is a lighter chassis
-3v engine weighs less then the 2v
-more power.

Does anyone think this is possible?

Anything is possible... cheaper to wait until you can buy an '05.
If you want a sleeper '99 there must be cheaper ways to do it IMO.

the 05 is too heavy for my taste. and the 2v and 4v engine weighs too much and is not as efficent.

So i wanted to get the best of both worlds.

Light car like the 99 gen and efficent engine like the 05.
