Comments? Sure there are tons of comments on this site. Do a search & you'll find dozens of threads asking the same question.

Bottom line though,, if you can do all the mechanical work yourself then the swap would be fun & cost effective. If you have to hire a garage to do it for you then it is very expensive. Cheaper to sell the stang & buy a GT

+100000. this question is asked nearly every day. your drivetrain cannot support the upgrade in torque so the rear end either needs beefed or swapped with a gt's 8.8, and the tranny is a diff bell housing or some ****, and i think someone else said the front suspension needs upgraded to handle the extra weight up front.
