Yes the 7.3 will take some modding to put into the mercury. Im planning for engine mounts and oil pan to be the big ones. This will probly be one of the more straight forward engine swaps ive done. Nothing that zip disks and a welder wont fix!!!! LOL

As far as the weight goes this is not a concern. if it sits too low ill grab some heaver duty coil springs and shocks from the wrecker out of another vehicle. Build some spacers. whatever it takes. there is enough steel in the front of the car already so strength is not going to be an issue. Stopping steering also are not a concern. Im going to put an engine in that makes around 200 LESS HP. Disk brake 9 inch kits are dirt cheap.
