Like the 3.7L V6 or 5.0? Anyone do a restomod like this?
What are the issues?
Just brainstorming...

Brian,There is no gain to a V6 in one of these older cougar's.. A 5.0 instead of 302, is a very common swap. There are a few folks who have also retained the fuel injection. That can be a plus, as long as you have everything when you get started. For me, going to a fuel injection set up would not be a cost effective choice.
I'm sorry, but the thought of a V6 in an early Cougar (which is supposed to have a V8) makes me shudder. A significant part of owning a classic muscle car is the the sound of the V8. The blatt of a V6 just wouldn't do it, even if it had three times the horsepower.I don't think anyone here has done the homework for a V6. I think an ecoboost V6 turbo/supercharged engine built from the north/south Mustang version would make more than enough power for a Cougar and 6 speed transmission would be neat
Maybe you could measure it up and see if it fits. the V6 makes as much power as our old V8's but doesn't have the touque figures
