sell your car and buy a gt, would prob be cheaper. with that being said, if your car is paid off, you'd need motor, tranny, computer, radiator, new rear end, and im not sure what else

spending that kind of money on making a v6 a gt seems crazy, but it can be done.... if your going to do the swap you might as well just do the full 9 yards. put a forged motor with a blower and a strong trans and rear end and be the most bad *** "v6" stang that anyone else as seen. i would keep the 16 " v6 rims, just to fake out everyone that tries to nail you... and then rape them on the street

This is a bad idea but I will tell you what you need.
SOHC engine-$2600
tranny-$1500
computer-$300
wiring harness-$150
accessories-$600
rearend-$2000
driveshaft-$180
instrument panel-$200

Thats $7530 not including labor. It can be done but really is not worth it. with that kinda money you can build that V6 alot more powerfull then a stock V8.
