A buddy of mine had a 4 banger that he put a 5.0 in with a turbo is was a sweet car until he let some guy drive it and he totaled it racing another stang. He couldnt handle tre power i guess. My buddy had full coverage but got beat becuase he only registered it as a 4 banger

Sell it and get a 5.0. It will be more fun rebuilding that.

If you're serious about doing this than buy a parts car. Its what I did. I bought a POS looking drop top off ebay for under 800 bux. Put all new gaskets and replaced a few things to freshen it up a bit. The engine, tranny, rear-end, an other tid bits have been installed on my car for 2 years and I have not had one problem at all. It looks like the car came with the 5.0. Just do it right the first time...no hacks.

it may be cheaper to buy a 5.0 car but its more fun to make one. plus i think we can use all the 5.0 mustangs on the street kicking the crud out of as many rice burners as we can get.

Nah, dont sell it, keep it and do the swap...cant beat having 4 banger insurance with a V8 car...
I reap this benifit. I pay less than $400 every 6 months.
