And no not the aussie 5.4!
Just wondering if anyone has any information or links to how painful getting a modular motor into an AU would be? The only one I recall would be CAT600 with his 4.6L? There was the 300+ Coupe a while back that also had a 4.6 so space wise it seems to be OK. I am starting some calculations on the conversion but if there are others who have gone down that path then I would be interested. Proposal is for a 5.0L coyote (not Miami) salvaged most likely from a mustang along with the manual transmission. So, areas of cost would be; Engine & Trans Mounts and Cross Members Exhaust ECU Wiring into OEM dash to keep all functions Drive Shaft Pedal Box Bonnet Modification (maybe) Any links or other builds would be greatly appreciated.

Small pipe dream right now, but idea would be XR8 with that drivetrain.
