I would think if you are mechinacally inclined and have done all the research you could do it. I think haveing the Ford manuals would be nessesary also. The hardest thing I see is actually having the right equipment to build the engines and get them in and out. Do you drop the sub fram or pull it from the top. Both have there own challenges. I have gathered what I thought to be improtant infromation on 3 liter builds I would be happy to send it to who ever wants it. I have it in two word documents both from different threads from some time ago.

the Ford shop manual is most likely going to tell you to drop the sub frame, of course that is easy with a lift but how has one of those handy?

if i had a lift, this would be very do-able.
yes i know people have done it without a lift, but is has taken them a while.
also i dont have a cherry picker either.
this might be a possibilty, but the next thing needed is time.
i dont even have time to do the front end in my hearse or fix the rot on my truck, nevermind do an ngine swap on my spare time.
but agin...it is possible

So what is the verdict on this meet? Will there be an engine swap going on?
I know that Goonz SVT and I had expressed an interest in doing an MTX fluid change, and Zgendron said he would bring his fluid pump. But that is the only concrete plans I heard of.
Could someone walk me through a plugs and wires change? Or just point me in the right direction? I think I could do the coolant flush on my own (and do it at home since it will be messy) but I would need a few pointers. I've seen the "How-to" but need a few clarifications/ parts pointed out...
Does that sound Ok? I don't want to overstep my bounds.

Mike and I will do our best to give a hand on whatever project people need help with - within reason.
No guarantees are ever made on all projects getting finished at these meets, but we all do our best as a group to all chip in where we can.
The biggy for this meet are Randy's headers - pretty much the prime priority, especially since it's been put off for so long, for various reasons that couldn't be helped.
In between that and actually just chilling/having fun, we'll all do our best to tackle other projects.

Well as of today, I found out my engine swap will begin here that same day. So I will most likely be at home, helping with the swap instead of going to the meet. I want to come but I don't want to leave my friend to swap the engine 100% by himself. If I do decide to come, I'll bring the new 5.0.
