hi all ford fans
 ummm, i know jack all about cars, so use ur car terms n stuff and i vaguely remember seeing a dictionary on this site, so i'll go check out wot ur talking about that way.
my query is simple, but probably requires a fair bit of information to be shared i have a stock ED. straight 6. um...i think its 4.0L. i want to replace it with a v8 in there. my purpose in asking is so that i know wot will work and wot wont work, and to pretty much find out wot options are available to me. will a v8 even fit in there? if so which engine would u recommend for an affordable price range 2-3k. im not too fussed on the specifics, as id rather get some recommendations, buy the engine and leave the conversion in the capable hands of someone who could do it for me. if u need to know more info, just holler at me. cheers |

cheap one will set you back 1500 (GLi)-12,000+(XR8 Sprint), depending on condition, mods etc
as the fuel cost are getting higher more and more people cannot afford to run a v8 and you will see more for sale
