Roush supercharges S550s and they don't upgrade all those parts you mention. And those cars have a warranty to boot. You could certainly upgrade some parts if desired (I'd do the oil pump gears as a minimum), but it's not going to cost tons of money compared to a completely new engine, the transplant kit and associated computer & wire harnesses, the labor and tuning etc. And if you want to start modifying the 7.3L with aftermarket parts then that's a whole new level of time, labor and cost.So after you remove the 5.0 and install/fix the oil pump gears......
Pay for the SC including labor......
Fix the cam bearing caps.....
Fix the timing chains.......
You still say it's cheaper?
Many people swap out the K member to reduce weight.
When it gets to that point a 7.3 swap is best.
Nah dude, there's no replacement for displacement.
On race fuel and fully built, the 5.0 N/A makes north of 800hp.
LS/LT chevies and 3rd gen hemis beat that with pump gas.
Unless you're road racing and 99% of Mustang don't, only then the 5.0 is viable.
