trans will work, wiring will not. K-member will need to be changed...

and the engine would be out of either a 91 GT or LX... not a Cobra.

If your doing it to learn about your car and learn more about working on cars and/or you love your exact car and could never have another car even though it may be better... (you are gonna learn alot doing the swap)

Then do the swap..

However, If your just doing it to put a 5.0 in it, your better off selling your car and buying a factory 5.0. 5.0 cars are pretty cheap. plus you can sell your car overpriced someome will buy it. Especially around tax season.

I know you didnt ask for opinions if u should do it, but just thought i would add my opinion lol
