So I want to build e a shelby 350 for the s197 model year. At the moment I know i don't want to use a 5.0 coyote engine because of how common it is, but would a engine swap with a s550 GT350 be possible? Yes i know it's expensive, but at the moment I would prefer to not go the route of a 5.0 coyote engine. I considered REALLY pushing my 3.7 to its limit but if I can get a real 350 engine installed, i think thst would be the move. Any engine ideas or thoughts on the swap? Is it possible?

 

Other than the obvious crank, the engines are basically the same dimension wise and how everything operates. So if you think you can do a coyote engine, the the voodoo would be just as easy or difficult and very expensive if you are talking crate engine wise.

 

How much were you thinking of spending on this project compared to beefing up the sixxer or swapping a coyote?

 

TBH price isn't an issue. Im more so looking to just build the best track racing S197 I can.
