Not sure if this is the best place I can post this, but ill try anyway. I have a 2002 Mustang 3.8 with the auto and I'm looking to swap to a 5.4 2V with an eaton on top (eventually). The first problem I'll run into is how hard is it going to be to turn the 3.8 into the V8. I'm lost with what all is required right now. Second, I'd like to keep the auto in for a little bit due to lack of funds after swapping everything else, will it bolt up?
So far I believe I'll need all wiring from a GT (what exactly is all of that)
5.4 shortblock
PI heads
Motor mounts
shorty headers (LT's will not fit)
4.6/5.4 adaptor plates to make GT intake and eventually SC to work.
MAF sensor (will 90MM lightning work? I dont want to swap later)
If any light could be shed it would be much appreciated.
