Hmmmm, this would be a good option. And guaranteed to clear the rush hour traffic.
Buy a v8 car and then spend time driving it and upgrading it. Your idea is a huge project. So many big projects are started and never finished. You see those big projects all over craigslist for sale for pennies on the dollar. Buying a running v8 car may be cheaper in the long run too.
They share the fact that they're an iron block 5.4. You can get a supercharger for it but if you want to use a gt500 supercharger, you would have to use different heads as navigator heads have a different intake port design. Front drive accessories are different.
I have swapped many engines into places they never been. Look at the sumps on both engines measure the exhaust width.. motor mount locations radiator set back.
the list goes on and on.
A hammer a torch and welder you can fit almost any engine where it hasn't been.
Never done your swap but I will bet it is easier than a 350 buick into a mustang II.
Yea I did that.
Buicks are super wide compared to the tiny Ford 302.

Mod motors all use the same motor mount and these have the same exhaust port design, but the angle will be different, you could probably make GT exhaust work without much of a problem, getting it in there is no challenge at all, there will be nothing to fab or anything, it will bolt in. The issue is that ford makes their late model engines very difficult to retrofit and without an entire v8 harness, it's probably going to be a bitch.
If that's the case, you could probably adapt a control pack to work in the car, I believe ford still makes them for a 3v
