Engine transfer help

1981capri · February 18th, 2008, 07:53 PM

I have a 82 capri body....I am looking to drop in a 5.0 engine...my question is what would if any differences be in the motor mounts if I went with a 5.0 HO engine out of a later model fox body engine lets say 88-92. Would the mounts be different for those engines...
Thanks for your help

They should be the same and the motor should go in fine as long as the original engine was a 4 or 8 cyl. I believe the 6 cyl had a different k-member but I don't think Capris ever had a 6.

He's right. It's an easy swap on a carb car.
