So I have this problem. I have a 1989 5.0 gt convertible that I crashed. (Yeah I know im bad) but the frame and body in the front are mangled however the engine is still in beautiful condition. So what I was thinking of doing is transfering it to another 5.0 The problem I have is that I can not find one that I can afford. All the bodys that I can find have engines in them and are too exspensive since I am a little tight on cash. So I was wondering what other cars I could fit it into with out having to do A lot of work i mean I know I will have to do the engine swap but I am still a newbie to cars so any alteration to the mounting and frame that I could avoid would be nice. pretty much Ill put it in anything I can find for the right price. thanks so much

you could try finding a cheep rx-7 either a first or seccond gen, everythign bolts strait up but you jsut have to send out the drive shaft for a differant yolk, grannys speed shop has everything for it my friends doing the swap right now. the cars have 4.10's in them stock with a clutch lsd plus they weigh next to nothing....grannys speed shop

I had the same problem. so i found and 88 f-150 with a blown 302. very simple swap.

How about a Thunderbird from the same era? The 5.0 was in some of those models, it's an easy switch, and they can look sweet done up nice.

they drop straight into miatas, and miatas also weigh next to nothing

miata? wow wasn't expecting that but I am trying to find a car that would be easy to find cheap like one that doesn't have an engine

1st gen RX-7, nice one with alot of miles will run you $1500 and you can drop that straight in
