2003 Ford Mustang GT Ragtop Engine Swap

Hi Guys, I am new here.

I recently acquired a 2003 Mustang GT Rag. and after a week my engine is toast. I am curious if the 2005-08 4.6 3V would be a direct swap into the car and if it would mount up with a 5speed tranny?

Yah, like I suggested in the other thread too, go supercharged dude, sounds like an awful lot of work to swap to the new block, but then you might not be as lazy as me either!!
