As you can tell from my handle, I'm usually hangin over at the 94-95 section. Long story short, my friend wants to change out a V6 from a 2000 stang vert 5speed and replace it with a 5.0. While I consider myself fairly knowledgable about 5.0s, I know next to nothing about 4.6s. Is what she wants to do going to require tons of work? I know that going from a 87-95 v6 to a 5.0 is tough but not impossible, just wondering how difficult it would be for her to drop in a 5.0. And by her, I mean me and her dad. Also, disregard stuff about going to a stronger rear end, just talking engine/transmission/computer etc issues.
