Default 5.0 injected

on a different line, how hard would it be to go from a 3.8 injected to a 5.0 injected?

I think its more economical to just sell the 3.8 car and buy a real 5.0 mustang. i wouldent bother swapping engines but thats just me.

might be worth the trouble if ur dropping a Crate engine or doing something really special and putting a 03 Cobra engine. ive seen that and its awesome. but i think its a waste of time putting a 5.0 because most likely, but im not sure, u might have to upgrade things like transmission or something. the computer will definately be different. and its probably going to be a headache. save urself trouble and get a real GT if that is the case.
