Default 3.8 to 5.0 swap

I am fairly new to the website. I have read lots of different questions on this subject
I am looking for someone to provide me with information on what I would need to complete this swap. i have a 2000 v6 mustang. I have a wrecked 1993 cobra 5.0 mustang. It has most the parts that i need to do this swap. If anyone could tell me what parts i could use off the donor car and what i would need all together it would be a great help.

lets see trade the rear out of the cobra for a 2000-2005 8.8 out of a gt.

then take the engine and tranny with the fuel system and all the engine wireing out of the 93 and put it in the 2000. basicaly im saying you will need the entire drive train.

you have better luck with just going and parting out all the good stuff and buying a 4.6 engine from your year or what not and swapping that in because the works going to be the same so might as well put in a more powerful engine.

part out the cobra and do a supercharger or twin turbos for your 6er.
