Default 4 cyl conversion

what do you do about the wiring harness? i know about the need for 5 lugs, and sway bar. what else is there to do a proper conversion. im thinking about not cutting this notch up to make a tube car cuz its in fairly decent shape. but if it more trouble than its worth, then under the knife she goes.

need for 5 lugs??? uh no you don't.....and mine still has the 4 cyl sway bar with no probs......those are the least of your worries..if you want it efi..You'll need a complete harness from a 5.0..if going carbed.......just tap in to the switche 12 volt for ignition system and find the gauge wiring..and there is tons of info on this by using the search function

Just find some pages and do some reading. 5 lug is a prefrence usually do to the use of more wheel styles such as the bullitts and other sn style wheels. Then along with this comes the use of bigger, better brakes. I don't know of anyone on here with a tube chasis 5.0 either. Just do some research. It is a pretty simple swap.
