What all would a transplant of a 4.6 v8 into a OBS truck entail?

i think if you have the time, money and determination it can be done wes....also would be very cool to see! its always more fun to be different .....i am a big fan of the 4.6's and just look at taxis and police cars those motors are everywhere and run for forever! .....go for it!!

Im thinking the 4.6 mustangs were running low 15s and the 5.0 was running 14.5 , i have never compared dyno charts on the 4.6 and 5.0 , but i think they made there peak HP and TQ at different rpms , the 5.0 would just pull harder on the low end , its not allways the car with the most peak HP that wins , this is just from my experience with them ....Lew
The fastest stock 5.0 fox body that I have seen ran a 14.7 in the quarter and that was a notch. I remember it always being a good race between a 95 5.0 and a 96 4.6.
In the end, I think both are good motors. They just have to be built differently.
