Default Re: Lamborghini Engine Swap

Nightmare... x10

Not only do you have to worry about mounting the mid engine Lambo engine into a front engined Mustang engine bay in regard to transmission mounting, but also motor mount locations in the K-member. Add in the fact you'll need a completely custom exhaust system, and the electronics between the two setups wouldn't even be distant cousins, and you're asking for a huge mess. Also, the stock transmission will never deal with the power.

Also... what engine are you talking about? I'm not aware of any 6.5L displacement engines manufactured by Lamborghini. That brings up another issue too. Depending on the engine, the redline may hurt the reliability of the transmission you choose because of the input shaft rpms. Oh, some accessory drives might not be built for the kind of rpms that some Lambo engines will see which means you'll need different pulleys, in addition to the custom mounting brackets to use the accessories in the first place.

Starting to get the picture? Hehe.
