Default 5.0 in a 1968

Has anyone installed a fuel injected 5.0 in a early mustang ? Any info on the swap will help. I have questions about the 5.0 headers , flywheel for the c4 just to name a few.

It is a common swap assuming you are not refering to the coyote 5.0
I'm sure a search here will yield lots of info.
Good luck.

Default 87 5.0

It is a 1987 5.0. So far no one has offered any info. But I am hopeful that will change.

I believe the key will be to have the harness to go with motor/ecu and if you are doing any upgrades switch to maf

I'm doing that swap now on my 68 FB. I found a donor car with a T5 though. There are some good threads on this. you will have to change to a front sump oil pan, change the timing cover to use a front dip stick and a new alternator bracket. When I pulled the motor and trans, I kept the ECU and harness. Not sure what you will need for a C4.
