Matt, it must be burden to know everything. I would wager that you have never never torn a car apart in your life.
If you ever get your hands dirty, you'll find that when you change drive train components you look for the simplest solutions.
I am confident that someday, with a little after-market help, somebody will put a new drivetrain in old s-197 V6 Mustang body.

It's people (and attitudes) like yours that keeps me posting in threads like this. I have a classic, and have done an engine swap (302 to 351). I know what is involved. I've also researched what's involved on newer mustangs (01-up). It is not worth it. I said it would be cheaper to buy a new GT, and yes I am right. You can find good ones now for under $18k. Problem solved, and assembled by people who know what they're doing.
And if you have to ask this question, again, sorry but you shouldn't be doing it. Unless you want an off road car for the track. This is so much different than even 10-15 years ago. I'm sure in the next 10 or so years it might become easier, but as of now, it is not. Also to add to the OP, the law about the is engine you must find one newer than your vehicle in most states. i.e., if you have an 07, you can't grap a 4.6L from an 05 or 06 GT.
You obviously don't know just how much is involved whtv6vert, so try not to put people down. Him of all people. (Moderator)
Do you guys have girlfriends? Maybe you should look into that instead of getting absolutely anal about being the smartest guy in Mustang cyberspace.
People use this forum, for the most part, to talk about what color they like best and how an after-market exhaust sounds. This ain't rocket science.
What's lacking here is a little spirited repartee with a sense of humor. Mr. moderator, you've probably noticed that there are not a lot of posts in the V6 tech area. Wonder why.. because it ain't interesting maybe?
Lighten up, get a girlfriend and quit spending so much time with online ****.
I have to agree, this is entertaining to watch unfold.
well to answer the OP, yes it can be done.
"Dear wht-v6-vert,
You have received an infraction at Mustang Forums at StangNet.
Reason: Insulting Other Member(s) / General Insulting or Abrasive Behavior, Confronting Staff in Open Forum

I let it slide the first time when you wanted to test the waters, but the second time is a no go. The attitude you're displaying in public on the forum is in need of some improvement, if you're going to remain an active member of the community.
Matt

This infraction is worth 2 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire."
Gee Matt, are you a great guy or what? "Let[ting] it slide the first time".
My final advice to you is the following:
Move out of your parents basement, put away your action figures. Go find that girlfriend we talked about, and then maybe your forum will be a little more interesting.
I've followed the V6 forum since April of 2005 when I bought a convertible to enjoy the summers with, and it has never been an interesting read. It is mostly a lot of autocratic pontificating by contributors that haven't got a clue what they're talking about.
I logged on yesterday to see if there was anything on a fuel gage sending unit issue that popped up on the '05, and was quite frankly disgusted with the drivel on this board.
You seem to think being a moderator is akin to being a hall monitor in grammar school, handing out demerits and narcing on your chums. If you are going to do this kind of thing, inspire the conversation and draw people in. Make it interesting and informative. Believe me, nobody gives a damn about how smart you think you are.
Matt my boy, grow up a little bit.
