yes, it will drop in, but you will need more mods to that v6 to make it handle that v8. It would just be better to mod the 6 or get a GT.

You can drop in a V6 but I know you will need to beef up the V6 suspension because the V6 and V8 engines differ by about 100 lbs. You can just "drop" it in but I believeyou will need a new tranny and new computer.

the v6 suspention will hold it suprisingly well but by the time you get done droping a stock 4.6l in you would have made more hp buy spending the money and building the 3.8l.
