Ok so im seriously considering doing a v-8 swap in my 89 4x4 ext cab. What i want is picture of other peoples swap. Im interested in both 5.0 and 4.6 swaps as i am considering both. If i do one i will keep it EFI so im really interested in those swaps. So lets see all those swaps so i can get some inspiration.

well i know there are some build thread but i hate digging through ten pages of fluff to see one picture. i thought it would be neat to have one thread of just pictures of the finished swap.

well all i really care about at this point is pictures so i can see some clean installations and get some inspiration for doing my swap. that and ive done some searching and there are lots of build threads but lots of them dont include pictures and very few seem to have pictures of the end result which is what i wanna see.

I still love this quote. Good luck with your build.

Mine as it sits today. Got it in at the end of the year, probably only put 200 miles on it and parked it until this spring. Lots to do still..

Here's a pic of my 4.6 dohc swap. Being that your doing your swap into an '89 4x4 I would recommend sticking with a Winsor based swap. The 4.6 would be a very labor intensive swap with many many many modifications.
