Hey there everyone, I'm new to your boards and I know that this question has probably been asked a million times but I just searched and could not find what I was looking for. My friend has a 1989 Mustang Hatchback 4 cylinder. He and I want to swap in the famous 5.0, but do not know what to buy besides the engine, tranny, rear-end, and driveshaft. I'm a big muscle-car fan, but my import cars have their own special parts, thus I figured I'd ask people who know, what else i need to have. Thanks again, I appreciate the help.

computer, harness, exhaust, all kinds of crap. i think there is a sticky in the 5.0 section. check it out.
edit* ha whoops. this is the 5.0 section and the sticky is gone

you will also have to do suspension the 4 cyl springs will handle the weight and the car will be lower but you will not have great handling. not positive but depending on the trans it has now, the drive shaft my be the same and the rear you can just rebuild.
