also the rearend isnt the same but spacers will make up the difference and if anything ill just get a 8.8 for a couple hundred out of a junkyard and slap the gears in it. i have an easy 5 grand to throw at the swap so ill make it work but after its all said and done ill post everything it took but ill keep you guys updated as I go through it
Only 5 grand? You're about 300% short of what the average engine swap ends up costing.
I would be more interested in this if OP's name didn't slightly offend me - especially since I almost bought a REAL Roush (went with my current because it had 20K fewer miles).

Me? I never said anything of the sort. And did you even read the guys thread before you started spouting off inaccurate information? He already has a donor car that he will pull majority of the parts out of including the motor/trans. So whats $5000?
Your right the fox would be faster but never as sexy, also the tuning wont be hard because its carbed which is one of the bigger reasons im converting it to carb. 40 series flows sound amazing with the 5.0s also..
I wouldn't consider a S197 sexy, not the 05-09 at least. I also wouldn't consider all fox body mustangs sexy either.
