Default 1998 GT engine swap

Hello,

I currently have a 1998 mustang GT with a blown up (kaboom not supercharger)4.6L. I have a buddy selling a 429 boss engine. I was wondering if anyone here has done a swap like this and if it is possible to get a conversion kit or does this require chopping it up? Any info would be great!

Thanks,
Shane

Bump and new question added. The engine that is blown is a 4.6L SOHC, and the intake was blown literaly to bits! the guy who had befor me used to much NOS and have a backfire in the intake im guessing. Ive not really played with nos at all or 4.6L at that. I was wondering if i was to rebuild the 4.6L for nos what would be a good idea to change on the motor and such(i want to try get around 410hp). Does anyone know a good site that has a walk trhough on building your SOHC 4.6L for NOS? Thanks,

Shane

If you rebuild your motor. Make sure you change to different heads and an intake. And get some decent cams. Try to find heads and a intake from a 99-04 Mustang.

Swapping in a 429 would cost alot of money, and it would be ALOT of work, prob be better off getting a forged long block and a supercharger.
