It's an 8", so you'll be fine for a 5.0L...unless you stroke it.

I don't plan on going to a stroker, well not yet. I just got an offer of a guy from the car club I joined a while ago. He has a 5.0 efi motor, aod trans, wire harness and cpu for $500 it was in a 67 don't think the wiring will work on mine with out it being modified? This is what I really want for my 65 just gotta see if the other guy who offered to buy it before I found out about it will take it. if he doesn't take it, it is as good as mine.

The wiring harness should work since it was probably originally out of a Fox body Mustang and would need to be modified anyway. He may have saved you from doing some work since he's already converted the wiring harness to run on a classic. There are plenty of guys here who have done the EFI conversion, so you'll get lots of help. I'm still in the 'planning' stage.

Just get a 5.0 motor. Do a light rebuild. Slap a carb on it and use a t-5 for a tranny.
