Will it bolt up to transmission? Can the factory computer run the Lightning transmission and the Ford Racing Parts harness and computer be used for the motor or would it be better to go with a standard trans?????:shrug:

I looked into it some, you will need a controller for the trans as its electronic shift. you will need to go with a return style fuel system and a ford racing control pack. Everything should bolt up. Im sure you will run into a bunch of little problems as swaps go. The gauges will be an issue. I know a 05 swapped car and I believe it was a bolt it. I couldnt tell you if the engines are balanced the same with out doing some research
What makes a GT500 engine superior?? Im sure you could score a coyote much much cheaper and the potential is just as much, take the extra money you save and buy forged internals and throw some boost at it. The coyote is supposed to have superior heads
when I modular swapped my fox it wasnt the most cost effective thing to do, I just wanted to do it....so i did
I have no motor at all right now and can't decide what the hell to do. Salvage Lightnings are anywhere from $3700 and up plus shipping.:shrug: The 5.0 has more power and isn't even supercharged yet and it will have millions of parts and upgrades available and it is probably a lot stronger built bottom end then the 5.4.
