Okay i'm buying a 2000 V6 mustang i know i can fit a v8 in it but would i also have to change the back axle and gears???

yup.. the V6 has a 7.5 rear, you could probably use it, but i would def switch to the 8.8

You'll need the whole driveline basically.You may be better off doing a 5.0 swap. A 7.5 with T-lok may be ok,but i'd go ahead and throw an 8.8 in it. (they're relatively easy to find)

Or just go ***** to the wall and go for a 9 inch.

could always just get the v8, less hassle to begin with..

this is the way to go. it will save a bunch of money in the long run. if you do are trying to do a 4.6 swap you gotta get all the electronics down too. if you are throwing a v8 with a carb up top it will be an easier swap. but then you gotta consider different motor mounts and could run into other problems. just shell out now for a gt at a minimum.

v6 has a LOT lower insurance rate and thats where you SAVE money in the long run.

not really if you actually call your insurance company to find out

you need alot of stuff and alot of work, for the same price with less hassle, you can just add a 11 psi procharger to your 3.8 and put down 300rwhp/ft.lbs

7.5 tlok is junk, go 8.8 or go with a detroit true trac in the 7.5
