hey guys i have a quick question i just bought a 91 silver on black notch 4cyl. because my 88 hatch was rearended last week. now im looking to take motor/trans/rearend from my hatch and put it into my coupe and then do the maf conversion at the same time. my question is what are some things i need to know or change before i do this. and do i have to get a whole new wiring harness or just modify the one in there now. anything will help. thanks

p.s. i did search for this and couldnt find much so if you could even point me in the right direction

rearend also needs to be replaced. u said u got rearended, how bad? rearend could be broke..

4 cyl's got the 7.5" ur hatch has the 8.8"

there is a write up ive seen that is pretty in depth on converting a 4 cylinder stang into an 8. try google

when i got rearended the car was parked on the side of the road at my friends house and it got hit by a drunk driver in a lifted truck so basically his bumper hit at the top of the stock spoiler and pushed my spoiler inside my car its pretty rough but only thing is the driveshaft its kinda bent now but i had everything else checked out and its all good

another question i think my 88 might be maf instead of speed density uh this may sound kinda dumb but how can i tell between the two. sry im more of carb guy.

is converting a 4 cylinder to a v8 worth it? wouldn't it be easier to just find a V8 notch?

if he already has everything to do the swap.. why waste money? and plus 8 cyl notch's are getting pricey.

yeah i love my coupe too .... i wanna' get another so i can leave mine stock and go crazy with the other ... but they are getting hard to find and $$$$ ... i'll give you that. i payed $4,200 for mine ... but it's super mint. still if i could find a 4 banger for 100 bucks i'd consider it too figuring that i'm gonna' be replace the suspension, drivetrain, and brakes anyway ...
