99-04 Pushrod car...questions

[auto_x5.0]

I'm currently building a 351w stroker motor, I thought about a Falcon, thats too much fab work; then foxbody, everybody does that; so now my plan is a new edge because I love the look of the 03-04 Cobra. My question is if I use a 99-04 Mustang, what would I need to do to fit a 351w in that Mustang. I know for a fact its a decent bit smaller than a 4v mod-motor so fitment isn't an issue. Has anybody on here done this before, I've never really had interest in mod-motors so I've never really paid attention to pushrod swaps in these cars, it's never really been a problem in the past. Any help is appreciated, thanks

I know very little on this but having a 94/95 5.0 car as a donor would be a lot of help. All the parts would swap over to 99-04 cars. You definitely need a k-member from 94/95

 

[auto_x5.0]

That's my main problem, I could probably fab up alot of the stuff on my own. The k-member is what's getting me, I didnt know if they made a motor swap motor mount kit or if the 94-95 k-members would fit the new edge body.

That is pretty sick.

All 79-04 k-members interchange.

 

[auto_x5.0]

That's pretty much what I want except the exterior will be different. Im glad his is carbed also, as my motor is a carbed 393w.

IIRC, a V6 k member works for a pushrod swap. But I'm not sure if you need special motor mounts or not.

 

[auto_x5.0]

I just want it to go smooth, the less amount of fabbing I have to do the happier I am lol

Buy an aftermarket k member. And get some kooks headers and 351w swap pan for fox body and bolt it in

A v6 k member is no different than a v8

 

[RichV]

Is a 4.6K not different than a 3.8K?

A v6 k member is no different than a v8

* of the same year.

The V6 used the same K member (by year), just used different mounts when the switch happend in '96 from pushrod to mod in the GT.


As posted, get a good aftermarket tubular K member, mounts and the correct header to clear the set up.

 

[auto_x5.0]

So any aftermarket k-member will work?

 

[DropTopPony]

Makes me think of the 99 Saleen S351.

A 94/95 will be easiest, or a good tubular K member with the correct motor mounts to allow the pushrod engine to bolt up for you.

MM sells a K-member for 1996-04 Mustang with engine swap to: 5.0L, 302, 351W, 3.8L, 2.3L engines. Not sure how that would be different than the K-member for 1979-95 Mustang with 5.0L, 302, 351W, 3.8L, 2.3L engines.​

If you want a stock 94-95 k member I have one just sitting.
