Also I'm not sure of this since I've never owned a 6 banget stang, but if they have weaker fuel pumps then he may not be getting enough fuel. Or it could be a dirty air filter. (believe me it happens). Start with a basic tune up. And as for the rear end it should be the same basic 8.8 in the other new edge mustangs!

I dont think thats correct. I thought the v6s had a weaker 7.5" rear end? You'll want to replace it.

the 5.4 is much wider than a 4.6

honestly it isnt worth the cash to swap the 5.4. just bolt a centri on the 4.6 make 420 to the wheels and cal it a day
