Yea but if your going through the trouble of doing a v8 engine swap why not just put something that has been widely used and swapped?

Unless u just want to drop in a carburetor motor then that wouldn't make sense to me fuel injection is usually better.

Idk just a suggestion.

Trying to stay away from a v8. Thats why im looking at the 3.8sc from a t-bird. The two people I know with v8's have a lot of cooling issues.

Electric fans and a good radiator should solve that

U can put 3 10" electric fans on one side pulling air and 1 12" fan pushing air if needed

I did the taurus fan conversion. It does pretty good. You can always get a 3 core radiator too
