Default Mark VIII engine swap in a 96 GT?

If I were to swap in a Mark VIII engine, what year engine would I have to look for? I found one out of a 1993 with 73k miles on it. Would that work well to swap in?

I recommend the 97-98 motor since the 93-96's intake is at the back of the engine. I am sure that it could work, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you got a 97-98 or 96-98 Cobra intake. Have you found my guide yet? Click the link in my signature to see it.

So if I end up going with the 93 motor, I'll want to get a Cobra intake, right?

Correct. That would be better anyway since the cobra intake gives more power.
