ok so my friend has a 9? mustang lx 5.0.. he offered up his motor as a doner to my car for 500 bucks.. anything i need i take.. injectors, fuel pump, motor mount, wiring harness.. anyone know any information on how to go about the swap, i have every possible tool but none of my mechanic buddys/relatives know anything besides GM cars. so if anyones knows anyone or has any imormation on parts/steps to swapping let me know please!

and i was wondering if i needed to find a new tranny for it or will the stock 04' sixer tranny work.

much appreciated.. and dont tell me its not worth it, i like the motor and all the labor is free so its a done deal

you know how easy it is to make a 5.0 fast.. i mean it takes a few here n there things.. a sixer takes a power adder to get anywhere

and i hate the way sixers sound too

people please stop thinking your v6 is almighty. sure they can be fast, a civic can be fast. but i have to be honest, i have only heard one v6 that actually sounded good. all others sound like shit IMO. sure a 5.0 doesnt push alot of hp stock. but what body and engine do you see most for drag stangs? you guessed it a fox with a 5.0. i vote engine swap.

yeah i am bound and determined to do the swap.. i just like the sound, the moddability, and especially the uniqueness.. who sees any new edge stangs rolling around witha 5.0 badge

the supra is a whole other ballgame. its an import your not going to want it to sound like american muscle.

i know building a dd and drag are two different things. but oh nvm, you people love your little sixes. if ya like em keep em. but i for one hate my engine.

I'm pretty sure it's 500 pounds more. Stock Fox 5.0 weighs about 2750 and stock SN95 3.8 is about 3200-3250.

[turp]

On a serious note you will need to grab EVERY part you can from the donor car including rear end, tranny, harness, There will also be a little bit of fab work getting the fox platform parts to mate up to your new edge sn95. It will be a serious undertaking but overall should be a great challenge and learning experience for even the most able bodied technician.

[232stang]

my car weighs 3600...

[GreenFaleen]

Yeah as long as you can grab the tranny & rear end and everything it will be ok otherwise you'll need a tranny and rear end.

thats nice my car weighs about 3100 with me in it and my friends 5.0 weighs about 2900 with him in it so yeah about 1000 thanks tho..

and yeah i can pretty much take everything except tranny rear-end and oil pan =P but me n him talked about it and i decided i am just gonna work on my car as it is and make it more show than go..

OMG uninformed people......... The swap will be cake work. All a 94-04 is a reskinned foxbody. But your gonna need a few things to make it work. Your going to need a
5.0 K-member
engine harness
computer harness
fuel pump return system if yours isn't already
the complete motor
a trans setup of your choice

most of the problems you are gonna run into is electrical. as long as you know how to read a schematic and do the proper research it should be fairly easy.
