pretty sure the 4.6 aluminator is dead but now they have something with an aluminum block thats like 298 ci and calling it a 4.9x or something along those lines

The word from a few pro's on this forum is to stay away from MMR.

Have your engine built locally.

Drop a new Coyote crate motor in it...you can put ANY SBF crate motor in it if you want to....even the old 5.0 pushrod.

It's SLIGHTLY more complicated than "dropping it in"... You have to deal with AC, PS, electronics, the drive-by-wire throttle body, and I'm sure a boatload more.

Ya. By the end of it, might as well just trade the Mach in for a used coyote. I'd rather do that than deal with the swap.

Oddly enough, so far an lsX is easier to swap in then the new 5.0
