Does This Count as an Engine Mod? 427w in 2012 Mustang
The swap starts this weekend in my 2012 V6:

What a question ��, but you are now a member of the V8 family! ... hope you're upgrading the rest too!
|
Sweet! I would say yes! Keep us updated.

Also swapping out the auto for a Tremec Magnum XL. :) Suspension and brakes are already done |
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...
|
whaaaaat. that is going to be some serious work.

Oh geezzus...I would love to see how that works.

Totally watching this thread.
|
What did you do to the rest of the suspension?
|
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 :rofl2:

Subbed! Cant wait for this build to come along

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! |

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". :) |
