GT drop in

How much do you think it would cost to drop in a v8 engine into my 99 v6? I want to get this more powerful, but if selling mine and buying a GT will be cheaper, I can do that.

It'll more than likely be a bit cheaper to just outright buy a used GT.

RE: GT drop in

but the joy of having a project to swap a 6 to an 8 is more giving than just buying a gt

yea but why, if its a terminator motor go for it, but just a 2V, a 2V motor if you buy it that way is a waste of money in my opinion[8D]

It would be a cool project, but personally I'd rather have a genuine GT than a swaped 6. Or just do what I did, keep the 6 as a DD and put down $2-4K for a fox.
