New member....I searched a little, and didn't really find anything very specific to my question(s)
I have the chance to pick up a 2007 model mustang v6 and manual transmission complete with ecu, radiator, driveshaft and a few other odds and ends for $600. This motor has just under 40k on it.
Currently my truck has the little 2.3l motor and standard 5 speed tranny. How difficult would it be to swap the mustang motor into my truck?
Should I use the mustang tranny or retain the current tranny? would there be any advantage one way or the other?
What would be involved in retaining all the current functions regarding the speedo/gauges/pcm and anything else I haven't thought of?
Should I just buy a different truck instead? I like the truck i have, reg cab swb.....but I'm not aware of this combo with a 4.0 motor. (but i'm probably wrong)
Lots of noob questions i know, but hopefully i can found out some info quick enough to either purchase the available motor or ditch this idea....
or...go with a v8 swap instead?
Thanks in advance
