4.6 to 5.0 swap
My roommate has a 2002 Mustang gt and he bought a 1995 5.0 motor and he was wanting to know if that would be a easy swap? Would they be a lot of mods?

Well first I hope you don't have emissions in Alabama, otherwise that swap wont pass inspection

still not worth it... if it was a built 5.0 with heads and internals I could see it, but he could buy a PI GT motor for about that

The reasons I've seen from most is you can get more power for less money out of a pushrod then an SOHC engine.
