IMO doing a fuel injected 4.6 would not be that much harder than a fuel injected 5.0 in a old car

what else is there but time , besides this type of swap makes you use your gray matter and the more we use it the stonger it gets ,

FWIW, I'd probably still do a 331 with a nice H/C/I setup, though. Parts are just so much easier to find and affordable for pushrod motors.

You'll be able to follow the 4.6L swap information for a fox body and come out real close. Both vehicles used the same type of charging system and mechanical speed/tach guages.

I agree it would be cooler with a 4.6 but a 5.0 is cheaper and easier/cheaper to mod
but I have to admit I loved driving my friends 2001 GT to the beach and back
