man, fitting a Mustang motor into an F150 sounds cool, right? But trust me, it’s not all just fun and games. First off, you gotta think about the size difference. that Mustang motor is compact, but the F150’s engine bay is way bigger. so you might end up with some empty space and that just looks weird.
and then there’s the wiring. oh man, wiring is a nightmare. I thought I could just wing it, but nope, it’s like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. One time, I left out a wire, and my truck just wouldn’t start. so frustrating.
do you really wanna mess with the transmission too? it’s like a whole different party. shifting gears feels like trying to teach a cat to swim. I mean, who knew? But hey, if you love challenges, go for it. Would you take that plunge?
Ive always thought about dropping a Mustang motor in my old F150 up here in Michigan but the idea of wiring and fitting seems like a huge headache
Plus the weight distribution might be messed up so what’s the point
I’ve seen a few people try this in Texas and man it ain’t easy. Space issues wiring headaches it’s a lot to tackle.
i’ve seen some crazy swaps in my time up here in Michigan. fitting that 5.0 into an F150 sounds like a wild ride but man the clearance issues might drive ya nuts.
I love the idea though it could really change the game if you pull it off. just hope the torque control doesn’t fry the transmission.
I ve been thinkin about this since I saw my buddy in Ohio try it. They got the whole thing in but now the wiring is a mess.
What a wild ride but it’s not that easy for sure.
Ive thought about this while wrenching in my garage in Michigan. It’s like fitting a square peg in a round hole honestly.
Clearance issues wiring mess with the dash it’s a lot. But man the power is tempting.
I remember my buddy in Texas tried this swap and man it was a headache. The Mustang motor is tight fit in that F150 frame. You’ve got to deal with the weight distribution too could end up handling like a boat if not careful.
Not to mention wiring harness issues. I’ve heard it can get real messy fast. Still it’s a cool idea if you got the patience to make it work.
Ive seen some wild builds but fitting a Mustang motor in an F150 is pure insanity in a good way.
I have friends who tried it and wow the headaches.
back when I was in Texas I tried swapping a Mustang motor into my old F150 and man the space issue was unreal I’ve gotta say it feels like cramming a sumo wrestler into a phone booth
Finding the right mounts and wiring took forever but the sound when it fired up was pure bliss just gotta brace yourself for some serious modifications and patience
So I had this buddy in Texas who thought shoving a Mustang 5.0 into his old F150 was a genius idea. Turns out it ain’t just bolt-on. I ve never seen that much head-scratching. The angle of that motor was wild and wiring? Total nightmare. Cool concept tho.
Man fitting a Mustang motor in an F150 sounds wild I’ve heard it’s tight in there. Like trying to squeeze a big pizza into a tiny oven.
Had a buddy in Texas who tried it. Ended up with more headaches than horsepower.
I have always loved the idea of cramming a Mustang motor into an F150 I mean who wouldn’t want that kind of power right in a truck. But man the challenges are wild.
I’ve seen buddies try this in Michigan and they ran into all sorts of issues like wiring problems and fitting it in the engine bay.
It’s almost like putting a lion in a doghouse kinda thing. Makes me respect the guys who pull it off even more.
I remember when I tried fitting a Mustang motor into my old F150 in Ontario the space issues were crazy and I thought it would be a walk in the park but no way did my plans go as expected.
With the wiring and mounts it felt like a puzzle that was missing pieces. Still worth a shot though just a massive headache.
I’ve always thought swapping a Mustang motor into an F150 would be epic but man the challenges are wild.
I remember my buddy tried it in Ohio and the wiring was a total nightmare plus fitting issues everywhere.
Sounds cool but it’s a massive headache honestly.
so I’ve seen folks try to do this swap down in Texas and wow it’s a mess. the size difference alone is wild
you gotta deal with clearance issues first off like how do you even fit that beast in there
Not to mention the wiring what a headache. I have a buddy who tried to do it and ended up with a half-finished truck for months
but hey if you get it right it would be something special
I remember when my buddy in Texas tried to do this swap a couple years back. He had all the parts lined up and was super pumped. But man the wiring harness was a nightmare.
Then there was the issue with the trans. It just didn’t fit right. Sometimes I think these projects turn into a big headache maybe just stick to the classics.
Fitting a Mustang motor into an F150 is like trying to put a cat in a doghouse in my experience. I ve seen some buddies in Texas attempt it and it was a total mess. The transmission alignment was off and you need custom mounts which are a pain to find.
But man the power when it works is insane.
I ve always thought fitin a Mustang motor in a F150 was nuts we did it last summer in Ohio and let me tell ya the challenges were real
the wiring was a mess and the clearance issues were wild it was like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole but man the power is worth it
I ve always loved the idea of swapping motors but fitting a Mustang 50 into an F150 seems wild in my experience. Gotta think about space and wiring.
But the power you get could be insane. Makes me want to try it myself in my garage here in Michigan.
been thinkin about this for a while I ve seen so many debates on this gotta say wiring is a nightmare and then there’s the engine mounts not to mention cooling issues drove my buddy’s truck once and it was wild but also chaotic
