hi i have been looking for a 5.0 notch for some time now and i got screwed over buying a hatch which i sold. so now i think i want to buy a notch (4banger) and get a wrecked or really cheap 5.0 and swap everything on from the 5.0 to the 4banger. does any one know how much a shop would charge to do the swap?

^^^^^^alot, your best off doing it yourself

is there a write up on this? how difficult will it be on a scale of 1-10? and for people who did this how long did it take?

if your gonna make it efi expect tp speend a few weeks converting it and that's to say you worked on it every evening and weekends...google it and you'll find your write up.....my 92 in my sig I converted

Unless you are good at turnin a wrench and or love it,just buy one.Seriously the only car they made more of than the fox 5.0 is the VW beetle...well not really but its not like they only pumped out a limited edition of 5000.

unless you have a 2 car garage id say just save a little more and buy a real 5.0 notch

^^^still havent found a car huh?

and converting can get really time consuming especially if going efi a lot has to be swapped, me i am lookin at finding a 4cyl coupe also but going the carb route and have a 351 that i just talked with someone (jim at fordstrokers)about throwing in a 408 kit in it for me

yeah im still looking i think il never find one but if you are looking for a 4banger theres one on CL for 450

^^you'll find one

i found mine for 700.it had already been converted but was kinda in bad shape but got it all straigtened out.and the week before i bought it the kid had 1500 on it and the night before i got it he outran the highway patrol in it so he sold it cheap.they were actually runnin the vin on it when i was looking at it,and were going to impound it but there were to many people interested in it.
