I do like the look. |
You will get lots of opinions. Is this to put in an existing car? What is in the car now?
You may need engine mounts.
You may need to get headers made (that could be pricey).
Fuel injection is great, getting it to work correctly might take some time and money. Does it come with the ECU (electronic control unit) for the injection? If so what make is it. What make in the injection? Installing fuel injection is a lot more involved.
You may need to do some trans mount work.
Overall it will be more money initially than putting an engine with a carburetor. It will be more money that putting in a Ford engine where there are likely engine mounts and headers available.
Putting a non Ford engine in it make make it a little harder to sell if you choose to sell it in the future.
Good Luck!
