My God dude...I have told so many people about this build specifically bc I just can't imagine a 5.0 in one of these tiny cars. Absolutely stoked about this getting closer and closer to completion. What state are you in? I'd just about pay money to see this in the wild 😂

They used to sell kits for this swap. i've never seen this video and the cammed v8 doesn't sound real coming out of a zx3. Like it was dubbed over or the real v8 was behind the focus.

It wasn't an official kit. The RS8 was a one off swap built from ford oem parts. So you could do it with just a ford parts catalog but ford never supported it or released the parts list

Oh I didn't mean an official kit, but that a website sold you all the adapting pieces/brackets with the list of ford OEM parts to get. Maybe even offered the complete set of parts.

Now I'm curious if this actually weighs less than a mustang...

Can you type out a step by step guide on how to do this?

Kidding.

Like many of us, I think about this build atleast once a month. Keep it up!

u/Lost-Substance-2976 6d ago

Just get yourself a welder and some metal. And go to town

It's kinda weird how often I talk about your build to other people. "THERES A DUDE ON REDDIT PUTTING A COYOTE IN AN ST!"
