Swap Possiblility

[97six]

So i was doin some research and comparing v6 engine parts to 5.0 engine parts, and i have found out that v6s are VERY expensive. I think this is only becuase of the low availablitly of shops producing parts. So my dad calls the house one day while hes in the land down under and i tell him what i was doin. Near the end on the conversation i asked him what he thought about me, him, and some local mustang club members do a 5.0 swap on my car; he thinks about it and he suggests that i find a parts car (which i will most deffinately do).

Go for it man. 5.0's are cheap and easy to mod.

I say go for it. :thumb:

 

[red97stang]

yeah i was thinking about going for it but mine's a dd and it wouldn't be too good on gas compared to what i have now

It's pretty straightforward honestly. A parts car is the best route, so you get all the nickel and dime stuff.

go for it. like everyone says, its fairly easy to swap, easy to mod, and cheap to do.

Honestly not a whole lot of difference in gas mileage between the V8's and V6's.

go efi man

 

[97six]

i was actually thinkin of doin the carb but i got to thinkin and i thought the carb would just eat my money for gas.

2slo95fiveoh-i would but i want a whole car so i get all the sensors and wiring needed

You will get good mileage with a properly tuned carb.

agreed, a little holley 600 would be perfect for a street car with a mostly stock motor, and it would haul some booty when it hit secondarys uttahere:

go carb if you wanna take a step back into the stone age. efi can make just as much power and be better with gas mileage. although its not as "user" friendly.

 

[realitygt]

I would go for it, and you would def need a parts car for it.

no offense, but almost anything is an upgrade from the v6's

Lol, pretty much sums up my opinion. But, honestly, a proper carb'd sytem will run as good as EFi, but if you go that route, pray they dont have, or never enact smog laws in your area.

I thought about doing a swap to a 02 gt motor, but keeping this car as a daily driver is crucial if I ever want to have another cobra to play with

carb's are far from the stoneage. Unless you've ridden in an old school, hogged out, bad to the bone car, you have no idea what a REAL carb'd car feels like. It will pull harder then any EFI car anyday
