yes but with a helluva lotta work that is like putting a triton v10 into a stang is it really worth it

yes it will probably fit with minimal clearance and you also have to change the trans and the rear and the suspension and the PCM
and buy a different trans and rear end and and call your insurance company to tell them you did a v8 swap in your car

if your heart is really set on doing this id say go for it but i can guarentee it will be a headache from the get go

Abetter thing to do would be put the Mustang body on the frame of the truck. That would solve all your problems with that much weight.

Depends on what kind of stang tim. it wouldnt be all to difficult to swap it into a fox, an SN95 can be done but is very risky/expensive.

Joe - one of the reasons heavy trucks weigh so much is because the chasis is built for high payloads and longevity. Not only that, it would ergonimically impossible to do something like that.

I think he just means a truck shaped to look like a Mustang, not actual take off parts from a Mustang. There's no way you're getting a Mustang bumper on the front of an F-350, lol.
