Has anyone seen this swap done successfully? After consulting with koda2000, the short blocks are the same and the existing 5R55 may bolt right up. Seems it would be a lot less work than the more desirable 5.0L Windsor V8 conversion.
I believe the OHV may be an econonmical and viable option for those with blown SOHC's. Sure, you're giving up 50 HP, but gaining time proven and long term reliability. Opinions?
