Default New Engine?

I've got a 2007 4.0 v6 and I want to drop in a new engine.Prefferably a 5.4, but most likely the more affordable 4.6.Can I go back any later than an 05 engine? Orwill some of the older 4.6's bolt on with minimal trouble?

Swap in one of those new Boss 302's[8D]. I've always wanted to see one in an S197

Well if ur serious about an engine swap go with the 4v Double Cam 4.6L.... Yes its the 04 cobra engine and its a good engine specially if u want to supercharge!!

I can get you started today. I've done several engine swaps personally. I'll need a $10,000 deposit and then $6000 after if you want 400hp or $7000 if you want 800hp.

I'm serious, and that's the best price you will find anywhere, I'm not trying to highball you look around.

thanks.
