How easy is it to change and install a 4.6 in a GT? Just wondering how much effort involved compared to an old school Chevy. Thanks for the input.

if your talking carburated old school, quite a bit more difficult. the old carb. enigines didn't have all the wiring & computer stuff to fool with, which naturally makes it easier to swap out.

there isn't a whole lot of room to work with. how long it takes is dependent on how good you are. it took my brother and i about 8 hours. but we had trouble getting the h pipe back onto the headers.

I'm pretty good considering I had a 88SS with a DFI Lingenfelter Tuneport conversion with a !2-bolt. Just needed some input into how much more involved is what I should have stated. Been there and done that. Its not the first car I built.
