Should I Do A 5.0 Swap?

ILLWILL · January 4th, 2012, 09:54 PM

i have a 87 4cyl notch i payed 300 dallors for it and was gonna do a 5.0 swap but with all the stuff u have to change i was thinking it would just be cheaper to buy a 5.0 notch that u can get in and go what do u guys think?

ryanw · January 4th, 2012, 10:04 PM

Ill give you a 100 bucks for it

FastStang91Lx · January 4th, 2012, 10:15 PM

Depends on many things including:
Are you going to do it yourself?
Do you have a parts car to do the swap with or are you going to piece it together and search for all the parts?

If you have to pay to get it done: NO
If you have a complete parts car already: YES
If you are going to piece it together with better than stock drivetrain rather than buy a 5.0 and throw a bunch of the junk away anyway: YES
If you would be completely satisfied with spending much more money on a finished project: NO
If you have more money than time: NO

I can help you with the whole engine deal. Maybe help you out with some axles but not the tranny. LMK

I did a 5.0 swap on my car and it cost me 500 bucks the car was 400 so thats 900 bucks if i couldve found one with the 5.0 in it i wouldve got it... and my prices arent spot on but there close so i would find one if i was you unless your doing it yourself

70-yenko-nova · January 5th, 2012, 02:09 AM

^^^ thats alot cheaper then i thought wow..

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 5th, 2012, 02:14 AM

Yea its all basically built right in after you change the motor mounts and run the gas lines down the right side of the car instead of the left side (4 cly) and you use the 5.0 driveshaft and everything and your good... Im in the process of installing a 5.0 rear end on mines with a 3:73 gear for 300... after you put the 5.0 motor and trans and change the rear you have a true 5.0 car

70-yenko-nova · January 5th, 2012, 02:15 AM

oo nevermmind then on my 308 if you can do it for that mucher cheaper

ILLWILL · January 5th, 2012, 07:10 PM

ya im doing it my self and ive been looking for a parts car that mabey has ben hit but i cant find 1 i was gonna put a 351 windsor but didnt wanna have to bypass the computer and stuff becuse its a carborator and i wasnt sure how hard it would be but i only have 300 in the car and i saw a stock 89 5.0 mottor on craigslist for 450$ with the computer and wireing harness so if i have 2000 in it thats not bad at all for a car that i know is good and the cars in real good shape i bought it off my friend he bought it brand new and his wife drove it for a little then the putt i on a car trailer and parked it in the drive way it only has 36,000 miles on it but it was under a maple tree and it drippend like syrup on the roof and hood and took the paint off and it got a little surface rust but i was sanding on the roof and its mostly gonne on 1 side and i have a cowl hood and the bottom of the car is excellent

70-yenko-nova · January 6th, 2012, 04:52 AM

no punctuation makes my eyes burn but yeah well If you need a good recently rebuilt motor fresh out machine shop I have one man. Full swap. Thats all I can say a 351 is where I would go and where I AM going because I want the bigger cubes and stronger motor.
