2.3 to 4.6 swap in my 87 4cyl Coupe Question
Not sure if this is the correct place for this or not. If not please move.
I am in the middle of a 2.3 to 5.0 swap and just got a lead on the complete motor, tranny out of a 2003 GT with less than 20k miles on it. Its a helluva deal so i have started entertaining the idea of going to a 4.6.
Does any one know what all would be involved or a good place to start looking for this info? I know it can be done but than again anything can be with enough money. Well I am not one of those people with enough money. So is it realistic?
I am aware of all the standard things such as ecu, wire harness, exhaust, rearend, possible custom drive shaft, and so on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you about summed in up. Also consider the instrument cluster or how your gonna get your speedo to work and all the other gauges. also the fuel system will be different than what is in your FOX. Motor Mounts, Throttle and Cruise Cable

Ya sound like one of them swaps you need a donor car for. Or a really deep wallet.
Good find on the website. I had no idea there that many people that had did the swap.
