Default 95 gt to 92 2.3notchback...need help!

I currently have a 2.3 92 notchback and Im going to buy a wrecked 95 gt. It has a 5.0 engine and I planned on swapping everything in the 95 gt into my 92 coupe. But I wanted to know what else besides the engine can I put in my coupe. Like rear end, seats and ect.?

Seats, rear end, booster, master cylinder, spindles(calipers, pads, rotors, etc).... For sure are a direct swap into the '92.

The motor will go in, might have to change some of the electrical, and if it has a manual trans, it will, but forget about it if you've got a AOD-E in that 95.

swap as much as possible... the electrical would be the hard part, but thats my favorite part. the easiest fix would be to run a carburator but you are probobly looking to keep it emmisions friendly soooooo,,, im pretty sure you will need the front suspension(springs) out of the 95 as well. i think they have a different weight rating for the V8(heavier than the 4cyl.). its a big project but it is do-able. i encourage people to do it. if you live in CT ill do it for you for about 3k.

The first thing I did when i swapped my first mustang 4cyl notch - tubular front k

Cheap buck. You've got to ditch the entire front end suspension, anyhow... kick up the extra 3 bills and lose about 150 lbs from the front end and be stronger at the same time. Then when you're done building your whip... make sure the electrical was done by someone who knows more about electrical than me... because 46 days after she's finsished she'll catch on fire like mine did. 46 days. Man was i pissed!

hey that rear will work but i think you will have to cut off the shock mounts and re weld them in place if i am not mistaken
