I read this swap in a magazine, don't remember if it was 5.0 or MMFF, it looks really interesting.
Will be watching, may alter my plans.
3v are not too expensive.
I don't remember all the details, but I do recall them using the 3v manifold and using a cobra tb so they could keep the drive by cable aspect.
If I recall, it fit fine, and I believe they kept the hood.
And an easy 300RWHP in naturally aspirated trim. All aluminum, with such light bodies, would be an amazing setup.
