you talking to me about the engine well you can buy the engine in a junk yard send it to a machine shop and then install it, from my knowledge you can match it with your tranny but i would just take the whole set up out of the car in a junk yard if they have it.


thats what i had planned before someone slammed me into a wall with my 98

If you can get the engine and tranny i have my mechanic here in the bronx he can install it without a problem he did the caprice to impala conversion for my boy awhile back. But if you want to do it on ur own let me know i have a cherry picker to lift the engine out of the bay :awesomework:

You will probaly find the engine and tranny together for under 1k probably, but you have to look and take your time, i would say if u find one thats hit in the rear and they sell u the whole car for 1k i would take it and strip it down and then junk it :awesomework:.


heres a link about a guy who did it to his car

you realize he has a 2000, right? the engine thing i was talking about is federal, not state...he cann do it, but if his insurance finds out, he'll have fun.


its not just engine/trans/rear- hell eed new springs, gauge cluster, ECU, all new wiring. plus the fact that the 5.0 was never OBDII which his car is will be a bitch and a half to adapt to. and god forbid he has to go outside his usual mechanic for work or anything, most wont touch it.

lets see...spend a shitton and pay for an assload of labor for a 5.0 swap, or just spend 3500 on a SC and get 300rwhp from the six which you can do yourself? seems simple to me. 4.6 swap will even only give him 220-230rwhp, unless he goes 4v.



If you want a 5.0, sell it and buy one.

I just want to know what Shelby did to the Terlingua other than the Paxton supercharger to get an extra 165 hp because I thought that most superchargers made around an extra 100-130 depending on the amount of boost used.

....good luck with that from a 4.3. essex engines were designed with boost in mind(during the GN days, built for the super coupe), so they respond to boost like MJ did to little boys. with a high compression 4.3, expect maybe 3xx rwhp, with no possiblity of FI because of the compression.
