I think I've seen this one before. Very awesome, (at least) 412 horses of 100% streetable, reliable power in a 3000 pound vehicle. I'll do this swap on my bird one day. Along with a T-56, 93 Cobra brakes, maybe IRS, and a very good insurance policy.




I can dream, can't I?

the engine block pattern is different on these motors.

  Not for quite some time.

7K for the motor
1.5K for the electronics
who knows how much else for all the other particulars.

the t-45 a different bell housing patern or what?
Probably an adapter plate

Cool!
Only in America do we use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "POLI" in latin meaning "many", "TICS" meaning "bloodsucking creatures".

Yes.  MUCH cheaper, but not nearly as cool and remember -- this new 5.0 has tons of potential in stock form. 

I'd like to see one of these new motors in a 67-69 Cougar replete with a 6 speed auto and a centrifugal blower sending the power through a built 9 inch. 

I've contemplated letting go of my Mustang to fund such an endeavor.  Unfortunately, I'm still sans Cougar so the Mustang stays so I have at least ONE toy I can drive.  Another 5 or 6 weeks on the Cougar at a minimum.

I Wish someone would give me about $15-20k so I could put one of those new 5-oh's into my car along with the 6M and some forced induction.
