i want to know if anybody has done this swap and what it entails to get it to go in my 96. i would like to have it done before mustang week this year. thanks for the help

basically you'd be redoing the whole car. lots of work but very doable. pushrod motors do get swapped into 96+ cars.

Actually it's not as bad as you might think. Remember the '94-'95 GT came with a 5.0, which has very similar external dimensions as a 351W. You can get motor mounts for a 5.0 SN95 Mustang and they should work. The extent of your work will depend on whether or not you want a fuel-injected or carb'd engine, whether you're going to use a 351 roller block or not, etc. It would be a lot cheaper to build a carb'd 351 but I can only recommend that if you don't have to smog. A fuel-injected 351 would be harder but you can probably get a wiring harness and computer from Ford like the one they used in the 1997 Saleen S351 Speedster or maybe an aftermarket setup. You'll need a beefier tranny if you want a 5-speed or 6-speed, or you can just get a built auto. I've thought about doing the same thing, but it's a PITA to find a 351 roller block...

so id be better off putting a 5.0 motor from a SN95 stang

just buy a nice crate motor, like a 331 or a 347 stroker. but a 302 block based engine would probably be the easiest.

Jesus christ how did you cram that thing in there.

really not too much work to make it fit. I had to go with a Auto but i run a 4500 stall with it. Buy a motor mount kit for under $75.00
