    Ford 6.2 SOHC

    Do any of you guys know if the new 6.2 SOHC engines from the F150's will fit in the 99-04's? I read an article from 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords stating it would not fit in the 05 and up but they never mentioned the 99-04. I think this would be an awesome swap if at all possible.

    When you say clean everything, what do you mean? I understand there might be small metal flakes or trash or something in the rear but how do you clean the rears? Is there a certain chemical to flush the system out with and then add oil? Example, brake cleaner fluid then let dry and add oil...

They do not have that in plan right now but I am curious of who else is interested...
