Besides the intake manifold, what other parts need to be swapped from a sn95 5.0 to be able to put in a motor from a 1990 ?

timing cover

The water pump and acc brackets I do believe bc they are shorter to allow more clearance between the rad and the front of the motor. Then you have to use the sn trans and bellhousing.

So the timing cover and everything infront of it... ie the water pump, and all the accessories.? So i'll need to use my alt. smog pump, and power steering? Will my brackets bolt up to that block?

from what i have been told the brackets will be fine ..the front assecories should bolt right up
but isn't the ignition wiring (whats the module called?)a bit different too?

Really all i'm gonna use from the 1990 is the up to the heads... I'm gonna put on my 95 intake mani, all front accessories, and bellhousing... So all should be good to go from there.... The only electrical parts are for the starter and ground, and the harness for the injectors and alternator....so everything should bolt up fine...

ya the 90 short block will bolt up to everything from your 95 ...as i been told ...yet to do it though

Well i just gotta go pick up the motor, and i'll let ya guys know how everything goes. I'm gonna check the part numbers to see if the water pump is the same or not.... I should put a new one on anyways since i'm gonna be right there....
I just gotta get over to my old motor and pull off the balancer and the timing cover, i broke a bolt on the timing cover so that might be a bia to get off... BUt i'll figure it out. Thanks for all the input..

Swapping a fox block into your car isnt rocket science. take the fox engine and strip it down to the block and heads. take EVERYTHING ELSE from that motor and throw it away.

you need to use YOUR STOCK:

timing cover
water pump
pullies
accesssory brackets
tensioner
accessories
distributor
valve covers
wiring harness
starter
intake (there are differences in sensor locations)
bellhousing/trans
exhaust (or stock replacement... dont use fox exhaust)
