im going to be helping my father in law change over a wore out 3.8 sixer to a fresh(stock) carbed 5.0. mostly for cruising and car shows(hes in his 60's) he said he wont be beating on it. that being said what do we need to make the 5 speed work out of the sixer car.? is it as easy as a bellhousing change? is the pilot bearing the same size?he was told that the bellhousing might even bolt up , is that true? i dont know ive only delt with 302's.it's in a 94 mustang.what about the gauges? is there anyway to make them work with out the computer?

 

Trans will bolt right up.. gauges will work without the PCM, but you need to wire them yourself.. send me a PM when the time comes and i'll show you how to do it.. I did the exact same swap.
