i heard of people back in the day taking out v6nd putting in v8's nd keeping the same vin so insurance didnt go up... how much do you think it would cost to do this... if you were to sell the v6... and put in a v8..?
I had a 84 Mustang with the 4 cylinder (blown up) Bought it for a song and dumped a 302 in it... Was a great car Fast Fun & cheap insurance but what a bear to get that 5.0 to fit and then run with the electronics of the car... Cried when I traded it in but now that I have my 07 it makes that old V8 look sick! Yesterday left work following some guy really hauling it. I let him chase the cops awayand then put it down for a few seconds....112 and still climbing What a thrill at 40!!
It will cost a lot. You will easily spend $12-15k or moreon the swap depending on which engine you go with.
I don't agree.... Maybe if you got a dealer to do the transplant... If you did it youself and found a donor car at the bone yard I bet for 4-5k you could make the whole switch ( if you did the work yourself) imo
