Hello other drivers I’ll get straight to it I have a 2012 ford mustang gt manual that was hit on the passenger side radiator support a while back.
I’ve managed to get the car to run on and drive but of course the body and frame rails are all junked up on the passenger side so I thought about just swapping the engine onto another car. Now the other guy had no insurance so I still got to keep the car and since it turns on my delusions told me to keep it and figure out what to do with it.
I have no previous experience swapping an engine but I’m never shy to a challenge and am willing to take the time to learn. I’m pretty much here to ask you educated chuds what you think is possibly the easiest swap for a coyote engine I pretty much have 3 options. I found a v6 automatic of the same year that would cost around $3k, I found an automatic 4 cylinder 1987 fox body that the another guy is selling for around $1k I know that the fox body will need a new k member kits and all that junk, or a new edge 2004 mustang that I can also grab up for cheap I don’t care about potential issues in any of these cars as long as the body is straight.
If you would so kindly mention what I need to know and or buy for any of these swaps that would be greatly appreciated. So I have the entire 2012 mustang gt with an mt82 and a 5.0 coyote both with 91,000 miles. I’ll put before and after so you get an idea of what I’m working with please be as mean as possible any advice is welcomed
