    Sorry, ruined the car.
    I AGREE! Plus, why is putting a Government bailout GM old style pushrod/spark plug wire engine an upgrade?

    MercChev? ... MarChev? ...

    I would personally prefer to see "... a pink interior or wagon wheels", or a 500 Cadillac - or big block Buick. I do admire the engineering involved.

    The more I learn, the more I find out I don't know.

    Confusion will be my epitaph...

    Probably because even that truck motor makes more HP and TQ with a broader power and torque band than the motor that came with the car factory?

    If not that, a head/cam swap, which is cheap enough to be a crime, puts it on an entirely new level altogether....

    Desecrating a Marauder with a Chevy engine makes me want to throw up. I'd rather have the pink interior and wagon wheels.

    why would you ever want an engine that has far more potential than a mod motor?

    Sorry guys, went to another shop to tie up the swap, so not 100 percent yet. Reprogramming you will need because of vats. I really am sad to see my 4.6 go but I do feel the 6.0 will be a better fit with my wants and wallet. Currently getting the h/c installed as well as a "sleeper" truck manifold. Dyno/street tune before panther nationals, so numbers will be coming. Looking for 400 or close n/a. Bottle hopefully will put me at 500 to the wheels on a motor/trans built for war.

    Total cost involved for me was around 7k...but that's basically paying twice for some things, brake and suspension mods to support it, super clean install. Someone could do a basic install if they plan it for sub 3k and be where I'm at or beyond if they do their own install/work.

    Glad to hear you'll have it done before the Panther Nationals... I'm going down there on Saturday and hang in the parking lot.

    I would have never considered this, except I was continually having problems with the operation of the motor. Motor/trans ended up being fine but for how long?

    You can't argue with 400 hp, torque curve as fat as the marauders butt and an owner who has no regard for resale. As long as its American, I can buy parts/get work done by Americans and has hot, nasty speed like America...I feel downright proud and patriotic with the swap...(turning off red,white and blue soapbox now)

    Couldn't agree more. Just post vids of the car in action if you will.

    #1. These cars aren't that special, there is 11 THOUSAND of the things out there, "ruining the car" is a stupid ass post. Doing this in a Cobra R? yes...in that case you'd be an idiot.

    #2. I love these cars, and I love mine. But the fact is, a 4.6L DOHC N/A makes jack **** for torque compared to a 6.0L pushrod. Had we been blessed with a tuned down eaton setup from the factory? Maybe things could be differently said.

    #3. At least he didn't do a f'n 2JZ. Its still american muscle.
