[QUOTE="80blue, post: 5128917, member: 30886"] figured i'd chime in it seems on tccoa if you so much as mention the 5.4 you get raped by"not worth it" statements and to be honest i agree.You could much easily swap in a mark VIII engine with very very minimal effort or a 2v from an explorer.Those are the two most popular swaps. Ive put an explorer engine in my t bird and i can say for the first engine i put in a car it was a cake walk,very minor things have to be switched over like the front cover,the oil pan and pickup,and a few other things. As for difference in performance,its a different car now,with the engine a one or two other mods,a shit reaction time and 60 ft i managed a 14.8 with my explorer engine,ive since added a few other things a few i havent installed yet but for example ive got VT stage 1's,a re-tune for my xcal,gt intake tube and airbox,an 01 mustang trans,3.73's,frpp 70mm t/b and thats about it and with that i should be able to get 13's,just to give you an idea and if your looking for 300 hp,add a kb to the explorer engine,or a vortech and you'll be set [/QUOTE]
