Hey guys im new around here. So first of all wats up to all. I had a 95 Mustang 5.0 but i left it in mexico when i moved up here again. So currently i drive a Honda del Sol (i know probably going to get flamed) thats my toy right now. But i have a guy thats going to give me 55hundread for it. I want to buy a mustang with that. Eventually i want to but a 351 Winsor in there. so my question is what model and year would be the easiest for this upgrade. I want it newer than 94. Im not a professional mechanic but i did do a engine swap in my current car so i think im up to the challenge. so wat do you say guys can yall give me info. Best years. Sorry for the long post Thanks

 

79-95

in 96 ford swaped to the 4.6l if you get a 4.6 car there is alot more work involved in the engine swap you best bet if you want a newer styled car is a 94-94 but the fox body cars are nice and easy swaps too. btw on a injected car you will need a lower intake headers and accessory brackets to do a 5.0 to 351 swap.

 

how much money do you think it will take to do a complete swap? Thanks

 

so i just remembered i wanted a vert. mustang but how much will it efect my performance. I know about weight reduction and so forth but i dont want to take it to the track i just dont want to get spanked by my old honda or anyother small car. Thanks

 

first off, its easiest to swap it into an 87-93. 94-95 models are harder because there is much less space in the engine compartment.

now on the convertable thing- verts arent only heavier, but the are also much weaker in their structure. if you plan on taking it to the track you will need to put a cage in it. make sure to put that in ur budget. also, take it to the 351 section under "special stangs". look through previous posts to find some info

 

thanks bro
