I have a red car
The question is whether a Barra I6 would fit inside the S197 engine bay and leave enough room to spare at the front without hitting the fan. It's a long engine and at best it would be very tight.
The 11+ 3.7 V6 stangs all got a 7.5" rear end. Did the 4.0 V6 in the 05-10 V6 get a 7.5" rear end....or a 8.8" ??? The oem 2 piece DS in the 11+ V6 cars explodes > 115 mph.
Any perceived eng conversion is gonna end up costing one helluva lot more $$.
I'm pretty sure all Mustangs got the 8.8 starting in '11. Now I gotta go look it up.....

They all got the 8.8" starting in 2011, but they all didn't get the same driveshaft/flange. TheI know that. But you also said...
When they did not. They got 8.8's. Same as the GT's. All I was doing was correcting this small error.
The GT's two piece fails at the carrier bearing. The V6 doesn't have that issue with itsThe 05 4.0 I had had a 7.5", and it had a single piece DS. It didn't explode at 115 mph, I speak from multiple experiences LOL
