Mustang guys... Need swap info

[still2hi]

I have a buddy that wants to swap a 351 and a 6 spd into is 98 mustang. I was wondering the best combo, best motor, and everything I can for him before he gets into this project. So if anyone can tell me a good site to find information on, parts or anything at all about this swap, it will all be appreciated.

 

Thanks Brandon

DONT DO IT. Supercharger and the motor in there. there is alot of work to do with that swap

that is a DUMB idea. No offense to your friend but the 98s have a lot of issues with parts you will have to change out then bye by eto the computer and he is just making a BIG mistake there are so many other options he could do that wouldnt be that hard!

well first off i don't think anyone makes a bellhousing for a windsor block to mate to a t-56. I could be worng but I don't think so. If you buddy wants cubes just put a 5.4 modular motor in.

is it a v-6 car? hopefully at least a GT. go with a 4.6 4 valve motor, or 5.4 4 valve like greg said for some more cubes. cost some more money that way.

4.6 4v with a power adder could be done for less.

 

and greg, you can bolt a t-56 up to a 5.0 motor

I dont know much about mustangs and all of the engines and whats easy and whats not. I just wanted to find out some info before hand. It is a 6 cyl. I dont know what he wants to do, but I will tell him everything you guys said. I am trying to get him to buy a foxbody and keep his 98 for a daily, but I dont know what he wants to do. Whats the swap like for the 4.6 4v? Any info on that.

 

Thanks Brandon

Well I l know im having problems with my 5.0 swap

u will need to find an entire 4.6 wiring harness and computer, i could see it costing you every bit of 8,000 bucks, better off to sell the v-6 and buy a v-8

The swaps. Are HARD and not fun. If hes a very good mechanic to do this then we prolly would not be having this coversation but ..... To make the car fast = fun or a easy swap..

 

 

here some options I used to mod 3.8 v6s even being told its futile.
