if your doing the entire thing it very striaght forward , just bolt it in. un bolt the rear part or the arms and uppers and bring it down . emergency brake cables , and drive shaft , shocks need to be diconnected too. if you did a 5.0 swap make sure you have the correct flexible brake line back there its diff than the 4 cyl. ect ect ,... get a manual maybe if you need help

yeah i did do a 5.0 swap. yeah i have to take the rear spindles, drums, and lines from my 5.0 car too. should i keep the 4 cylinder upper control arms? i am keeping the stock 4 cylinder springs and maybe shocks for better drag launches. any ideas or thoughts?
