Swapping from 2v to 4v....Need some input

[Grnstang]

Hey all....Just wondering if anyone has ever swapped from a 2v to the 4v before and what all needs to be changed. Recently came across an awesome 4v and a buddy may help me drop it in. My car, a 96 Mustang GT, is pretty much stock and I was wondering if I'll need to change my Kmember, transmission, or any other parts, or if it will just drop in. I know I'll need to retune, or get a new computer, but I'm just concerned with the bigger parts. Can someone help me out and give a little input....Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks guys.

Do a search, its been discussed extensively. Normally most people will say its cheaper to blow a 2V than do a 4V swap but if you can get the motor cheap then go for it. With a 96 you would definetly have a sleeper.

Whats your definition of cheap? Under what $$$?

Hey all....Just wondering if anyone has ever swapped from a 2v to the 4v before and what all needs to be changed. A friend of mine recently came across an awesome Mach 1 engine and said he'd sell it to me real cheap and also help me drop it in. My car, a 96 Mustang GT, is pretty much stock and I was wondering if I'll need to change my Kmember, transmission, or any other parts, or if it will just drop in.

Fuel system will need to be addressed as Mach is returnless along with ECU and wiring issues.

Yeah, I really want to get a blower, but the 4v engine only has 8k on it and it's going to be much cheaper, provided we don't run into major problems installing it that is.
