Can a sn95 5.0 engine go into a 76 mach 1 fastback?
Hey guys. My buddy has a mean lookin 76 mustang mach 1 with an old 134hp 5.0 that is running like ****. I don't know anything about these old mustang but this is a beautiful car with all red leather interior but this engine has over 500,000 miles on it. If I bought his car from him would it be possible to swap engine with a perfect running sn95 5.0. The 76 is a 4speed standard and the sn95 is a 5speed standard. What could and couldn't I swap into the fastback. They are both 5.0's so could the new engine bolt up to the old transmission or would I have to swap the transmission from the sn95 also? Thanks alot guys and please feel free to post any comments on what you think about this swap. Does it sound like a good idea, and do you think it will perform well...????

the reason i asked , i think 73 may have been the last year for mach 1 . 74-78 may have been mustang II, then 79-93 fox & etc. the next mach 1 may be around 2003. not sure on this, some one correct me if i am wrong . thanks. you might run the vin# & tell.

yes I believe so, unless my friend doesn't know what he's talkin about. Should it be on the sticker when you open the drivers door?

its not a mach 1 its probably a mustang II cobra II which is still a really nasty looking car as for the block it will drop right in put a 4bbl intake and carb on it and your good to go it should also hook up right to the 4 speed trans too
