Does cobrajet know that you are using his screen name? I'd get a new one.

It's not a practical swap. Cheaper to just buy a GT. There's nothing wrong with having two Mustangs.

Well if you buy some badass **** from the get it actually could be worth it, as opposed to what the other guy said. You could buy the 5.0 of course, a TKO tranny, computer from a fox body (theyre much better to work off of than the SN-95's computer, they can get pissy especially after a cam swap), and supposedly Pro-M was supposed to make a harness that will be compatible with the computer. all this is supposing you are going to build it.

RE: V-6 to 5.0 swap

there is no point

buy an original 5.0 and build it from there

much better platform

not only is the engine/drivetrain different but the suspension, rearend, and other things are different too.
