still2hi Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 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.

Amy Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 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!

Guest powers Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still2hi Posted August 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 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.

thorne Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Well I l know im having problems with my 5.0 swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 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. www3.8mstuang.com Options I can suggest BPU++ CAI/Pipes/Shiftkit/Gear swap in the rear. make the car a tad more fun. 4.2 swap Gets you nice power for the price (600+) 190+hp/240+tq Supercharger 3000 250hp + fun to drive 3.8 Split port 1000$ 190hp/200tq Nitrous 600$ 250hp but refils costs you moneys:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
