I wouldn't doubt that there will be swap kits that include wiring adapters and the like in the near future.

I though the auto trans. were made in France?
At least the one in my F150 was...

Nothing good comes out of France, except wine.

And of course you, Pascal!

I think it will be like doing a 4.0 to a 4.6 swap.

Your gonna need motor, tranny, maybe engine mounts, ECU.

The one obstacle I forsee is the electronic steering in the new 5.0
No power steering so i dont know if the whole steering unit needs replacing or what.

I know im going to be looking into swapping once my engine blows.

I would go all the way to a 5.7 and 6 speed from a GT500 if I went through the trouble of a transplant. But a whipple or Edelbrock with conservative tune should make a blown 4.6 last a long time, I'm planning to do that instead of changing engines.

If you're going to transplant why go 5.0, go 5.4 and pump out more power, easier.

Here is the kicker on the new 5.0, it does not have conventional power steering, the 2011 uses electric power steering. Ford says that they are developing a kit but as of yet it does not exsist. We are putting the new motor in a 63 fairlane and have had to fab quite a bit just to make it fit.

JDM engineering actually has a kit for you to do this. I had talked with them a few weeks ago about it.

Your definately better off from a price point to supercharge your 4.6L. But the conversion kit is out there.

Not positive, but I believe you will have want to swap the Trans as well if you go with the shelby block. You should be able to keep your 5-spd with the 5.0.

But again. You can supercharge a 4.6 and get 550ish hp for well under half the price of this conversion.
