You'll be responsible for transportation. I will offer a warranty on parts that I change or add for 1 year. Everything will go in, in a stock condition. Turn around will be quick but delay's can come up if there are issues. I would say 2 weeks - 1 month. I will buy the parts once the money is in hand, and the motor I buy for you will not exceed 80,000 miles.

EDIT: You have the option of taking back your old motor and any parts left over from the V6. But you're responsible for transportation and such.

EDIT: The price will be $7,000

 

Is this a joke,you can build a 5.0 monster miata for half that,302 s are dime a dozen.

 

wow that comment just made me chuckle he's talking about a 5.0 v8 benz engine not a 5.0 mustang

 

Josh, you should start saying "M113 5.0L V8 " Cause unfortunately just 5.0 is forever tied to ford Garbage , I saw you had to clarify on facebook too. Im just surprised someone on this forum would be thinking that..

 

All along I had been thinking that the M113 was a M112 with 2 additional cylinders.
Silly me.
The M112 is 533 CC's per cylinder, whereas the M113 is 625 CC's per .......
( the displacement increase is 36%, not the 25% I had originally thought )

 

Lmao, first of all. The Coyote 5.0 engine's are running around $6K on ebay. Not sure what a miata cost's but the cost of that and the standalone to run it is going to put the total well over 9 g's...

It's actually pretty funny when I see these types of comments. Just internet tough guys thinking they know everything lol. Sorry, but based off of that comment, you probably can't even change your own oil.

Yup, and my Crossfire 5.0 with 100+ less crank hp just whooped on a 5.0 mustang last night lol.

That's what I figured! I shouldn't have to specify on this forum of all places lol. I forget about all of the new people though lol.

The 4.3 V8 is the same with 2 more cylinders. That's why I wanted the 5.0 so bad

 

January 2011, that blackpepper guy has been a member longer than me! Wow, that just made it even funnier. Thanks for the laugh man.

 

 

I wanted to edit and update. Given recent events with members and thought on everything, I can understand why people are hesitant or unable to throw the mass amounts of money I ask for swaps. I am willing to take a "hit" (IMHO), if it actually brings anyone in. I've been asked a hundred million times how much it cost's, so I know there's interest. I'm just waiting for people to step up.

New price for the time being will be $7,000 for a full 5.0 swap start to finish.

 

Ok, that gave me a laugh. I've seen this post headline a few times without reading it and thought, Why the hell would you put a Mustang 5.0 engine in a crossfire, LOL

 

I really should've put Benz 500 in the heading Lmao. I just figured the forum would've seen my name and just figured lol. Sorry for the confusion everyone haha.

And in all honesty, if the electronics were to work stock, I would like that engine in the crossfire. My whole thing is that they are expensive, Ford, and damn near nothing would work lol. Not sure how sophisticated Ford's electronics are now, but they've probably caught up to '98 Benz tech, so I doubt the engine would even start without an aftermarket ECU lol.

 

well, 7k seems like a good price, I just have to find a good cheap car to put it in....and I have yet to find that 1500.00 XF....lol.... Yeah, I know I am a tight ***....

 

Yeah it is, for the average person it would run around $4.5K - $6K in parts (Not including fab if you take it somewhere, or tools to do it yourself).

My profit would be little, but that little extra to me would save someone the hassle of figuring out the fabrication, and the trial and error of the little things to add or change to save them from... Well, effing the bay up because they should've tied this here, not there, or strapping down the motor mounts, or recessing the radiator, or running this fan, not that fan. All stuff that no one knew, so they couldn't tell me. The few that did know never said anything to me when I asked so I went in blind, and had a grand in repairs after one month because the motor torquing over and the mechanical fan hitting the shroud, destroying my coolant reservoir, upper radiator hose, the radiator, and my top radiator support, with more little things here and there.

So for me, it's easy to justify my original asking price for swaps. It's not just parts and labor. It's knowledge along with custom fab work. I know what not to do now.

Either way, I want to help the community and I could use the extra money to buy cool garage tools . Plus I like doing this stuff. I think it would be nice someday to do like Rudy and get companies behind me to powdercoat the stuff as the motor goes in, but I haven't even had one swap customer yet, so that's a pipe dream at this point.

 

This is how you get started young man.... tightass here, is looking for cheap, hopefully blown motor cheap, XF's......lol. Stolen/recovered, I don't care....lol..

 

Same here lol. I would love to get a really really cheap xfire and just go crazy. That's kind of how mine was when I bought it. It was on the cheaper side, just not dirt like theft or something. That's why I didn't mind cutting, ripping, pulling and experimenting on it lol. I need to get my lazy butt in gear and start tackling the little things. The steering wheel is going to get painted white/black to match the car. I already debadged it and filled in the hole.

 

Yo J.
Maybe the "2 weeks" thingy is scaring them off!

 

DJ, here's a plan : sue Corky for 7K, take that and the car to Josh and Voila ! You have a 6 speed V8, don't need no stinkin turbo ........

 

Hahahahaha ok, 13 days - 1 month! Better?

I think that would be a pretty damn good plan.

 

DJ likes boosted things and so do I....what would that cost? Just sayin' cause I am a tight *** not tighed1......

 

If I could afford to put that kind of money in the Crossfire I would be all over this deal like stink on *****.
