2.3 to 5.0
 

i have a 87 mustang lx that was originally a 2.3 and the guy put a 5.0L in but was an idiot and thought he cound just throw it in a turn the key. so i know i have to get a 87, 88 wiring harness and ecu, some engine bay components, 8.8 rear end,but wondering what els i should be looking at to change. someone thats done this swap could you give me some info or what you did and what u changed

RE: 2.3 to 5.0
 

you CAN just kinda throw it in and turn the key

its really that easy

Suspension? 5.0 badges? lol:D unless you want it to be stealthy.

RE: 2.3 to 5.0
 

the only thing different about the suspension is the springs... which people swap in the 4 cyl springs anyway
