Default NEED HELP with a disicion

im lookin to upgrade my v6 to a v8 and build it myself. i know all the technical things that need to be done to handle this but i was looking for opinions

im looking at the 2 valve romeo 4.6 which would be easier to find parts for

or the 5.4 liter which i understand would be expensive but i dont have a money problem

i was just wondering peoples opinions.

spelled.

You know that red line underneath words? It's not because the word is so badass. It's because its misspelled.

If money isn't a problem buy yourself a GT or cobra. It would be simpler than a swap.

I would go 4V as well. Are you trying to find a junkyard motor, or are you going to crate her up?

It's a good thing you have money to burn because a V6-V8 swap is gonna cost you a ton, and at the end of the day you wind up with something that's not even unique.. there are TONS of V8 Stangs sitting in dealer lots, new and used.

Honestly you're wasting your money. If you do like to mod cars then sell the 6're & buy a GT, then put your experience modding the GT to be an even better car

Well if you were smart you look outside the modular world. Even a sportsman 302 or a 331 etc. would be better. However, I completely disagree with what others have said, when you build a car from the ground up, you get alot more for your money... and as far as uniqueness goes... its a FORD... nobody cares anyway.
