4.6 to new 5.0 swap

I was just curious if anyone has heard of someone doing the swap to a new 5.0. What all would be involved with swapping electronics and all?

I don't know of anyone that has, but I would like to see someone do it just to see how involved of a swap it would be.

is it possible YES, since you're asking probably not going to be in your league of effort / cash / time to accomplish it...




you'd need the control module, a stand alone control for your transmission if equipped with an automatic, new engine mounts, and some stuff with the fuel system before you get into the wiring for your dash cluster to operate

Can it be done?? Anything can be done if you have the skill, resources, and money.

Projects like this are a catch 22, and here's why…Why are you wanting to this job? If it's to improve on your current platform because you think it's a better motor, it's cool, better gas mileage, yada, yada, yada, then no; it's a losing proposition however you slice it. If you're doing it because money is no object and you're the gearhead of all gearheads and this is what you want to build as your next toy project, then yea, rock on! That would be bad @$$.
