I have a 2000 mustang gt and the front end was hit leaving the struts forward bent, I found a v6 mustang a year newer that’s blown up but the body is immaculate on it, any advice on swapping my engine and transmission into the v6 mustang? I know obviously engine, tranny, cluster, ecu, but other than that what would I need to do the swap?

The K member would also have to be swapped, along with the bulk of the engine wiring, and you'll have to match things up for PATS (might be easiest to swap the steering column. Should be mostly plug and ply if you have two New Edge cars to work from though.

You have to swap the transmission, computer, ignition, rear end, and hydro booster for the brakes. The engine harness may not be compatible due to the year difference. I believe the new edge requires a motor to body years match for a direct plug and play.
