94 to 04 Mustang V6 to V8 Swap Guide

[@kingcapital1266]

my wife has a ‘04 40th anniversary, thinking of swapping the V6 out and this definitely helps

[@Woodifier]

did you end up doing it? i have the same car and want it to be better

[@TS-ef2gv]

I have an '03 Mustang V6 drop top that bought brand new 19 years ago. It's always been just a third or fourth string fair weather use-only car and otherwise has always been garaged, and now has only 45k miles. It's like new, top, bottom, inside and out. The trunk and leather interior still even smell new. I was at first considering selling it and buying another new (to me) toy car like a later model GT, but instead I'm considering doing a Coyote swap. I've had the car for so long and taken such good care of it that I'm a bit sentimental about it, and the money I would get by selling it isn't enough to make it worth it. It would be a much better deal for the buyer than for me. A Coyote swap, maybe using a Gen III crate motor and trans combo, is starting to sound like a much better, best-of-both-world way to move up to a Coyote Mustang but keep my existing car. With it being in like-new condition I think it would make a perfect starting point for a swap (no damage or rusty hardware, etc). I've been watching many Edge swap videos and reading project write-ups to educate myself and make a decision. Your video was very helpful. Thanks.

Don't swap it to clean

[@thatmaverickguy859]

@diane Taylor because the cars to clean idc if it's a V6

[@thatmaverickguy859]

@diane Taylor I say for the money to do it then sell it it's not worth it

Don’t sell it . Sometimes you just have to enjoy the car how it came from the factory

[@justa3v619]

How did you drop the 5.0 in without changing the k-member? I was always told they were too tall and you needed a different k member or a cowl hood to clear

[@fede_pe]

Hello friend I want to do the same with the next generation 2005-2009, but I don't know how, I hope you can guide me. greetings from Tepeaca Puebla / Mexico

[@kalebistheman16]

I was recently told by a Ford enthusiast that it’s not really made for GT swaps but I’m sure it’s possible

[@MisterHolaMan]

think the K member comes in with the 94-95 v6 as it was with the old 302 pads so they say

[@Z1PP3D_his_ahh]

I’m going soon to grab stuff off the crown Vic I believe I need harness / computer / motor / trans / rear end / driveshaft . What else may I need somebody help😭😭🖤

[@2000mustang6]

Subscribed!! I might get me another v6 just to do this swap, I'm currently building a widebody twin turbo 4.3l stroker.

[@Z1PP3D_his_ahh]

What if you got your motor 4.6 /trans / rear end out of a 02 crown Vic police interceptor

[@lesabrepittman6760]

So you could use the v6 k member for the dohc 4.6 swap just use the 4.6 motor mounts

[@justa3v619]

Really thinking about swapping in a 4v into my 08 that currently has a 3v in it. I’m pretty happy with the 3v but I eventually want more power than these internals can handle. Just trying to decide which way ima go but I want to find another engine either a complete 4v or a 3v shortblock so I can build the bottom end to handle 10-12lbs of boost. Currently I’m pretty happy with the car but im already pushing the stock internals to their limit I’m sure. Pretty much full bolt on jlt cold air intake, underdrive pulleys, 3” exhaust no cats or mufflers, 1.75 long tube headers, Ford racing manifold, gt500 tb, hot rod cams, 4.10 gears, zex single nozzle wet kit 125hp, with a n/a and n2o Lito tune. So with all those parts already bought and on the car I kinda want to stay with the 3v but just build a good shortblock and put either a centrifugal supercharger or a single turbo on it. Every one around here seems to hate the 3v and says to go with the 4v but I’m already in pretty deep with the 3v and kinda like the idea of being the outkast no one ever builds bad ass 3v’s

[@justa3v619]

@@DriftDreams242 they are most definitely the bastard child and I really don’t get it. I mean from the factory they make just as much n/a hp as any of the previous 4v motors. And mod for mod they will hang with a 4v. I guess it’s just the whole cam phaser problems.

Great video. If i were to swap in a carbureted distributor ignition 302W, would i still have to worry about the wiring? I have heard that the transmission wouldn't work without ECU information from the motor, but that may be another rumor like the K member, I often hear these 2 things mentioned in the same breath.
