Hey guys i'm new to the site. Anyways i was thinking of getting a 2.3L LX Hatch and swap the engine for a 5.0, also put a Steeda suspension on it. What else would i have to do to the 2.3L to complete the 5.0 package?? Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks Gpit73

personally I'd look into the 20.0L swap. Its a v8 for every wheel. Go ask the guys in the hybrid cars forum. Most of them have done it cuz they get great gas mileage....
