hey everyone im new and wants to know a little about swapping
hey everyone im new here and have 96 stang .... its putting out 150hp i believe but im not satisfied with that because ive got my ass handed to me quite a few times .. so i was thinking about swaping my engine to 4.2. im wondering how much hp i would be putting out with that and if it is good idea to swap the engine because i dont want to damage my ride. i have to keep this car for couple of more years so yeah. also how much would the swapping cost, i have about 1500 on me right now so you think i would be able to get low milage, good conditioned engine and get installed in that price range... and right now im running 0-60 in 9.8s but with that 4.2 what'll be my 0-60 .. any estimates ... anyways guys thanks for taking your time and reading the post

You'll just want to swap in the block, the intake won't clear.
You should move to mid-6's in th e0-60. You won't get much more hp, because of the restriction in heads and intake, but if you put a 3/4" spacer between teh upper and lower intake your hp should jump to 215-217hp.
the 4.2L makes 202-205 hp, but 255-260 ft/lbs of torque. The Mustang has a more aggressive tune, and you'll neet a programmer of chip to run the combination so with a proper tune, it could go up 7-15 +- more depending on octane, etc.
Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness,his upper rooms by injustice,making his countrymen work for nothing...Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar?Did not your father have food and drink?He did what was right and just,so all went well with him. He defended the cause of the poor and needy,and so all went well...But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain,on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion. Jer 22:13, 15-17

hnmmmm thanks for the reply .... oh ya any idea how much the used motor will cost and would i still be able to mod my car or i'll be stuck around 215hp ... i want to get udp, gears, tlok, programmer and intake in the future but for now ive set my goal on engine swapping because its the cheapest bang for buck IMO
For all the trouble of swapping motors, computers and so fourth for those small gains wouldnt he be better off modding his current car?
25-30 ft/lbs is pretty big!
It's pretty easy to get 245hp out of the 4.2L, with dual exhaust, throttlebody, intake spacer, mild street cam, and a CAI with a tune. (The F-150 cam is more geared for torque production . .. )
Getting it with single exhaust, and everything else stock would be tough.

Yeah, F-150 owners take all kinds of stuff from the Mustang mods. It's the same block.

oh ok thanks for the reply guys and one more thing ... i heard that with 3.73 gears n t-lok u can reduce 1/4 by 1 second ... so if i get the engine and top of that i install gears,tlok,cai,tru duals and UDPs then will i be running low 5s from 0-60?

0-60 is about 1/3-1/2 of the time it takes to run the 1/4 mile - so 0-60 will take off around 0.33 seconds with gears.
You should be in low 6s.
