Serious V8 questions

If you use the ultimate kit you run all of the stock Ford motor parts including the oil pan with no mods. There is no need to alter the hood, rad support or the firewall. It fits like it was supposto be there. Take a look.

hey, I think you told me once before, but how much did you want for it. It still has the instructions and everything with it? That engine bay looks nice, was that yours?

Yea thats my old mazda with the Ultimate kit. Its a 91-93 5.0l. I bought a mustang that was T-boned.

The kit that I have left is complete with instructions. I want $275 USD plus shipping.

thanks, I'll let you know if I can spend that much when I gather everything else, I'm on sort of a tight budget.

really, what is better to do first? a v8 swap or airbags. If I can sell my other truck and sell my rabbits, I should have enough to do a nice airbag setup and buy the tools to do it too. I have been debating on wether to do airbags or not, I am buying a bigger 4x4, so I could use that to beat on and hual stuff with. I also have 4x4 fenders sitting on the side of my house and I dont know if I want to keep them if I bag in the future or sell them.

So is it better to plant the motor in the truck then build the bag system around the V8 or build the V8 around the bag system.
thanks,

I would do the V8 swap first for the following reasons.

1. Weight- your going to want to run bigger bags with a 5.0l in the front compared to the 2.2 and maby even a little bigger valve to get up faster

2. rear setup- you will want to drive the truck and see how it reacts to the power and torque. What may be good for the 4 banger might cause wheel hop/ rear end twist, etc.

3. line routing/gauge and switch location- You have alot less room once you stuff that motor uner the hood especially with the exhaust (and heat). Also you'll want to run a few more gauges to monitor the motor
