do you guys know of any shops that do motor swaps that doesn't cost an arm and a leg ...

i'm trying to look into the future of my engine and once it reaches 100K, i think its gonna blow since im pushing 11psi in my 6.... so i want a PLAN B.

i was either lookin into swapping an 03 cobra motor or a mach 1 motor..

i'm hoping it wouldnt cost more than $10-12K..

what do u guys think>?? whats the best way to go??

a v8 swap is a lot of labor, so if you can't do it yourself I would sell the car and buy something with the motor you want instead.

why not a 5.4 DOHC navigator motor with a T-trim?

We can do it at HCI. We have most of the stuff sitting around the shop. Spare 3650's & drivelines, spare take-out motors, etc. It would end up being a built motor for the cost of a stock Ford motor. The extra expenses would be getting the wiring harness/computer/getting it 'keyed' at Ford....stuff like that.

Sell the car. Use the 10-12K you were gonna pay to have it done and buy a nice clean 97-98 Cobra...or a down payment on a 03-04.
