Hey guys I've got a 2008 Pony Package V6 automatic. Other than the engine itself, engine harness, PCM, driveshaft, and 8.8" rear axle. What else will I need to complete a 3V swap?

If you are going to swap an engine, you should start by not swapping in an engine that basically sucks.

Don't waste your money. Previous supercharged 3v owner here. You can get a 5.0 motor for around 6k

He means the rings failing. Doing the v8 swap is never worth it unless it's a really clean 4 banger Fox and you have a complete donor car. You will spend double your planned budget btw... been there. It sucks but get your 6er paid down and trade it in or sell it and get a v8.

I've had my 3v 4.6 for 8 months and so far I have no complaints with it. However, it is still stock (with only a custom tune) and I've only DD'ed it with spirited driving.

The only thing I wish it had was the amazing sound (just my opinion) of the Coyote.

Honestly if I didn't have 20k in upgrades in my 5.0 I would jump ship
