Motor Swap? Need Input?
I keep reading about how you can only take the 4.6 so far was had an idea if im gonna be spending 4 to 5 k on upgrades, boltons, z rated heads, racing cam, and excetra, would it be more wise to pull the motor in favor of a Ford Racing 302 p/n M-6007-Z50Z or the Ford Racing Big Block 460 p/n M-6007-F460FT.
i wanted to know would this be a more effective way of spening my hard earned money then rebuilding my 281?
Besides the obouious, of finding a new transmission and motor mounts, what are the other aspects i need to know and budget before even attempt this project.
Is is going to be hard to find replacement parts for these engines, or how would i find components that work with them, ex transmission, exhaust
Just looking for some helpful advise on my mustang. I am looking for the stang to mainly be daily driver that i still can take to the track. and thorw down numbers in the low 12's
Am i just wasteing my mine debating over this or should i just mod my current 02 gt, witch is bone stock.
