Project 5.GO!

I knew it! You're gonna love opening your hood after that thing goes in there. Just enough space to reach things with big ol' American hands, but not enough to look silly.

Hope that front clip isn't fiberglass. Not street legal.

I didnt know they made complete front fiberglass clips...mines the stock metal and plastic tho...

LOL! The first photo of the T-5 looked like a dead animal laying on the ground like that with the tranny fluid all around it.

The project is looking good!

Looking good so far. I know what you mean about dreading the electrical. I'm more mechanically inclined, myself.

Detroit motor solutions and other companies make full fiberglass front clips. My experience with taking apart the front ends on fox bodies... Just assumed that was a front clip. Carry on.

Looks cleanish right?


I hate wires...





I dont even know what half of them do...I need a complete wiring diagram for every single wire in the 90 5.0 mark vii and the 92 2.3 mustang, anyone help me with that?

Swap is looking good man. It is not always fun to do a 4 Banger to 5.0 swap. Some are easier than others. Your's doesn't look to terrible. (Not the car, it looks good.)
