Recommendation for a New Engine
hey guys,
in a couple months i am gunna have the money for a new engine, and its a big step so i want to do plenty of research before making my decision. i want to jump more then the 4.6 and was thinking about a 5.0, possibly bigger, id like to stay under 9 thousand dollars for this. i have been debating whether to retire my Mustang from being my Daily Driver car and using my VW bus for my Daily Driver car. if i decide that and just use my mustang for joy and weekends, then i dont care how big a engine i shove in there. whats ur guys opinion on a good engine i could put in for 9 grand. i am fully aware that many other components must be replaced to make an engine this big work in a V6 body. but il worry about that when the time comes, iv got nothing but time.
THANKS GUYS!

1) Get any kind of 4.6 block and stroke it, blow it, heads and cams and call it a day. I'm using the stocker but if yours is a 6 banger price is the only thing that will limit your options!

2) Find a 3v 5.4 out of an F150 and go crazy with it.

3) Try to track down a totaled GT500 - will be hard BUT well worth your while.
4) If you didn't want to keep all the electronics, a build up on a carb motor would be the easiest swap as far as electronics go but you'd be giving up a lot of Fuel Injected benefits. Would be the cheapest option by far but I would go with one of the other 3 given the choice.
If I can be any help just let me know!
