inline 6 to a 5.0

what are your thoughts about robbing a 5.0 out of say an 85 GT with the 5-speed and dropping it in a 66?

don't use an auto...the engine is the LEAST of your work, you will need new wiring, engine mounts and brackets, radiator, tranny, bellhousing, rear end, steering, brakes, spindles, and a dozen more things...
