Would it be safe to say that outside of the new 5.0 in the 2011 mustang, that most everything else is the same as the 2005-2010. Outside of the upper control arm and x-pipe. In other words mufflers,LCA,shocks,struts,etc
should interchange?

body panels are the same as the 2010, suspension probably changed due to the lighter block up front.

Cats are farther back, and it uses ball and socket exhaust connections instead of slip fit so pretty much nothing in the exhaust will exchange without modification.

Their were some changes around the front Kmember or what ever they call it these days to stiffen the front end. Im told the old CHE Brace will not fit without modification, I dont think other changes like extra sheetmetal in the factory "frame rails" or what ever you want to call them are going to affect fit of anything.

LCA, Shocks and Struts should still fit.

I think the 5.0 is actually 10 lb heavier at 430 lb. The weight I have from the 2005 press info is 420 lb for the 3V. The block is lighter. The heads and cams are not.

The non-Brembo 5.0 front springs are softer with larger sway bar than the 2010 Track Pack. This was to get similar handling with better ride.

No one seems to really know on the Brembo springs other than the different part number.

LostBoyz

you're right I was only thinking about the block

Thanks guys.

Struts are different, strut mounts are different, if you're going with aftermarket struts, you need 05 style isolators and mounts/caster camber plates.

the 10 and 11 share body parts, but most of those parts will not interchange with the 09 down. even teh qtr windows are different as an example, they look the same but louvers for 09 down won't fit.
