Default RE: engine swap help

read the v6 section

your going to need at minimum...

an 8.8 rear end, new springs to compensate the heavier motor, new radiator cuz the v6 cant support even a 4.6l gt engine, new fuel pump + injectors, new bellhousing for the tranny at a minimum that i know of for a 4.6 swap so a 5.4 you may need a whole new tranny depending on how much hp its pushing, wiring harness and ecu, probably a few more odds and ends.
