5.0/4.6 swap into another car ???

[Troll]

During my Powerball dreams, I envision a 1965 AC Cobra with a 428, but in real life, I was researching 5.0 swaps and Factory Five replica Cobra kits.

Then, when that gets real expensive and unrealistic I started searching 5.0 swaps on the internet and I've seen a few people sticking them in a Mazda Miata donor car. Now that looks like a fun little vehicle.

Just curious if anybody on here ever stuck a V8 into anything it wasn't originally in and what kind of headaches are involved.

i put a 306 in a mazda pickup it went in pretty easy, the only clearance trouble was the fans and belts , it ran 13.2's

A local guy has a 5.0 is a mid 80's Saab that is purple. I haven't seen it in a few years, but it was different. Personally I like the mod motor swap kit's they have in the Ford Racing catalog for the Focus. I think it would be fun to have a Focus hatch back with a 96-98 Cobra engine in it.
