2003 Police Int. Engine in 1958 f100

Hello all,

I have an idea bouncing around in my head.

Some of you may be aware that I did the 2003 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor front suspension swap, like several other Ford guys on this forum. The idea that I have been kicking around is how well would a 2003-whenever Police Car engine and transmission perform in my truck (1958 F-100 by the way)? I believe the actual size is 4.6 L with ~225 hp. The advantage of this swap would be fuel injection, programmable computer, and possible MPG improvement.

What I am wondering is if it would be worth the trouble of doing this swap. The setup I have now is a 1979 351 W bored .030 over with the modifications listed in my signature. Any and all comments/opinions are welcomed.

Thanks
