Isn't basically like swapping a v8 into a mustang only wider parts.

tell him to get pics up as he builds it, I love mn12's (after having owned 2 in the last 2 years)

If he wants a manual trans get a m5r2 trans out of a supercoupe and pedal assembly. 5.0 and 351 will bolt right up. You could swap in a modular engine if you wanted to deal with all the wiring and stuff and if you wanted to keep it manual with that you would have to find a case out of a 97 or newer f150 with a stick and put the super coupe trans guts in it and the tail. Let me know if you have any questions how much does he want for the blown motor with everything?

ya, if the car is already a manual tranny car, then i'd stick with that trans. if an auto I'd probably just throw an aod in there. I loved my 5.0 bird back when I had it. It had too many miles and was slow because of it, but it was a great car that I wish I still had.

Thanks for the info I think he wants to part out the engine not sure though Ill talk with him later and find out. I was thinkin bout getting him a mod motor and trans but some thing about 5.0 or 5.8 just sounds so much cooler.

Yeah I'll see the car next weekend and I'll try to remember my camera. also it is an automatic but we are going to put in a man. he wants a 6 speed but i think a 5 will do for now.
