It very well may be. I'm gonna stop worrying about spending future me's money on stuff I don't need to be spending it on lol. I certainly don't want one of those nasty-lookin 09+ trucks

Maybe instead of 04-08 to 09+ body panel swap, I should do an 09+ to 04-08 panel swap

Ahhhhh be patient.

50/50 a major player might be making a add on controller for a 6 speed swap.

Maybe / Maybe not. Not gonna be cheap but the 6 cog is a big factor in making these new body's quick.

Yeah....except the bolt pattern for the transmissions and the engine mounts are all exactly the same. That's how so many guys have bolted the Coyote into their 4.6 mustangs with the 4R70....

Get the Control Pack from Ford to run the trans/engine separate and get after it.

Or find a wrecked 2012+ and swap the trans/engine/pcm all at once.
