Well we got done at about 12:30 this morning. Everything works fine except its runnin a little hot....we think we might just have air pockets and were fixin that today.But we got done in two days and it was fun. Gotta hurry up and fix that heat problem though cuz i cant wait to get out there and test out that stall

Did you have to get a new hood? I am confused about that part on the 4.2L swap. Someone said to use the mustang upper intake and you wouldn't have to get a new hood for clearance issues. Also what all did you need for the swap? Is it a huge difference from the stock engine? Sorry for all of the questions, its just that I have been heavily contemplating this swap.

I got a 2800 stall but kinda wish i would have gotten a bigger one...its fun. But i punched it today leaving school and it fishtailed for about 100ft and then i noticed it blowing antifreeze all over the place....i blew one of the water hoses off and it was blowing it everywhere....so i refilled it and went home...i think im ok now but scared to punch it lol....but the stall is fun nevertheless lol

The F150 upper intake doesn't fit, but the Mustang upper intake fits fine under the stock hood. Biggest change is using an 01 and up oil pan from the 3.8L to make it fit right. Power output = 5.0L hp and tq numbers.
