new 5.0 swap...Need advice

[MyMustang]

I like any other mod v8 fan ive been looking alot into the new 5.0 they just put out and was wondering if it would be possible to swap one into the Mach or say on 05GT... I know the cobra typr r has a 5.4 in it and to my knowledge the 05-11 are very similar accept for the newly added 5.0... any thoughts? Ive seen the longblock for sale for 6,000$ and was wondering if it would be doable to drop it into the Mach or an 05 or up GT? I cant find an 11 gt for under 25,000$ or i would just buy it but I can get a high meleage gt for 10,000 cash and drop the all aluminum 5.0 in the lighter 05 body (sorry I love my mach way more but im a fan of s197 body)

It should fit in an '05 easily. Just need the correct engine mounts. I believe there is a company that makes mounts for our cars now as well.

If I ever blow this motor, I think the mach will be getting an upgrade.

So are you considering the new 5.0?

From what ive read the 11 5.0 will bolt to the stock 99-04 K memeber and will accept a 3650.

If I blow this motor then yes, however, I doubt that will happen anytime soon unless I do something stupid. The motor is built to the hilt and is only running an eaton with 8 psi right now. Although I did just buy a 2.76 upper for it, but this motor can take whatever the eaton can throw at it. Hell, I plan to upgrade to a whipple 2.9 down the road and it will be able to take whatever THAT blower can throw at it. As long as I have enough fuel and a good tune, its good to go.
