Default New Engine for my 2007 Ford Mustang 4.0 - Convert to V8?
Debating converting my 07 Ford Mustang 4.0 Engine to a 4.6 V8 Engine or a 5.0 Engine, what do you guys think?


I am coming up on my 60k mile mark which means the end of my warranty i can either renew for a for more miles or swap out the engine for something badass

What are some good choices for a v8 engine for my car ?

strap on an xcharger, you'll get 300 at the tires, and save yourself a lot of work and $$
