Questions on 5.0 Swap
So i just got a 87 LX, first car, took me long enough 
any ways, the 2.slow has to go, and my plans for the car are, drop in a 5.0 , 331 stroker, make it a street machine with a slp lm1 exhaust and in the future turbo 
, but right now, im really trying to find good info for the swap, when i search on here i dont get anything relevant, and google doesnt really have anything... so advice from your personal experiences would be welcomed so i know what to expect. also if u did do the swap where did u get alot of the parts from, did u use alot of the parts on this list http://www.stangbangerz.com/print.php?sid=40 ? It doesnt seem like all of its necesary. Id like to turn it into Mass Air and do the 5 speed swap while im doing the motor swap, and where can i start looking for wrecked cars or part cars... Please any input would be appreciated especially tips... Thanks guys..
PS It feels good to be driving a rustang... lol the first time i drove it i pulled into my driveway and snapped my ebrake cable [:@] lol

RE: Questions on 5.0 Swap
Hey, I got your PM.
Yeah, i did a huge thing in the 4 banger section, just go there. It was supposed to become a sticky but I don't think it did. Just look for it, it says v8 swap or something like that. It has everything you need, in my opinion. PM me again if you have any further questions/difficulties.
