I was looking into 4.2 strokers for my 03 stang. I'm not a car genious but is it extremely tricky to pull a new engine with all the electronics. I've pulled engines before but never anything so new. Would it just be worth it to have a mechanic do it?

I would think as long as you know somewhat what you are doing it shouldn't be too bad as long as you remember which wires went where and things like that. being a 4.2 shouldn't be too hard whereas a 4.6 or 5.4 or such would be a PITA.
