Hello!
I wanted to switch out my 4.6 & T45 Ford to a 5.3 & T56 Chevy Engine & Trans.
My local yard has the engine for $600 w/ 94k miles on it.
I know il need to purchase the kit for the engine mounts, purchase aftermarket gauges and clutch kit for the T56.
My only concern mainly is the air conditioning.. I live in texas so this is desperately needed! How would i go about hooking this up?? Could i use the 4.6 lines and buy some sort of conversion kit for the chevys AC compressor?
My mechanics skills are decent, i'm still learning some as i go along..
What else would i need to do apart from the mounts aswell??
Any issues i could possibly run into along the way?
I believe someone said something about the Kmember
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
