What would it take to stuff a 2004 Terminator engine in our cars?
I could get a 2004 SVT Cobra engine that pushes out around 650RWP for about 6 grand....
Anyway in hell to stuff this in a 2007 and have everything function properly?

. Not sure where you live, but in Cali you can't replace a car's motor with an older year of engine and be smog compliant. You'd be better installing a stroker(maybe $3500 including labor), then adding a supercharger( maybe $5,000) and you'll be strong and legal and trust me that $6K Termie motor after all the fabricating, tracking down parts to interface with the S197, then all the electrical gremlins that most likely will surface, you'll be past that $8K+ price tag...................

You'd be better off stuffing that Termie motor in a Fox body and go rip someone unsuspecting a new one.

$3000 worth of parts and $4500 worth of labor (counting porting). Not counting options.
These engines must be mighty complicated.
Hmmmm...... I wonder if a 514 BBF will fit?
