What would it take to swap out my 4.6 and put in an old carburated engine?

it would either be a 351w or a 429 cobrajet

Swap out the K member with that of a 94-95 mustang. Figuring out the brake system. Deleting the computer goods, changing the gauges.

If I were to do this, what is the difficulty level? My brother is a gear head for carbonated engines, so the new engine install would be pretty easy, I'm more concerned with what I need to tale out and what I need to keep in the car. Also I wonder if my tranny will work or if I would need a new one.

This is a very involved swap. Basically, very little swaps over. I am trying to find the thread when ZW did this swap.

Here it is...first few pages are kinda dull but this will give you an idea of what is needed. This swap isn't for someone who doesn't have a lot of money, time or mechanically experience. But if pulled off it is sweet.

It does but not when I have the engines available and almost completely built in my bros garage. The expensive part would come from taking the stuff out I have now. What I need to know is what to keep and what to get rid of.
