Anyone know what it would take to swap a 3v into a 99-04. Smogability would be a factor, this car would be a cruiser. There are a gang of these long blocks out there with low miles, relatively cheap, they make good power and are responsive to tuning. I just don't know what kind of cluster frog it would be to swap. If its a matter of wiring, who could do it?

Why would a 3v be a down grade? They have aluminum blocks make just as much power as a n/a 4v. They seem to be reliable as hell too.

Do a 03/04 Cobra swap, it would be way sicker and with mods it would respond way better then a 3V.

you have an aluminum block too, sure they can handle 550rwhp but like dude above said do 03/04 or just the heads

both of you guy 99 cobra and 05+ have wap blocks

I should probably mention that I blew my shit up. I have been looking at 32v longblocks and saw some low mile 3v for much less.. A termi swap would be dope, but that's outta budget.

3v & 4v both don't make much power N/A so I don't see what the debate is about top end wise... Get a built shortblock, go with the cheapest top end.. Prob 4v "C or B" Heads, 96-98 4V cams, boost the crap out of it with a blower... N/A is not the Way
