RE: engine swap thread?
Ok thanks for that info! But what else is needed, I know engine, tranny, computer, wiring harnesses. If I were to put in a completely different engine, what does that mean as far as different parts?

for a GT swap (5.0 or 4.6) you need, motor, motor mounts, radiator, alternator, smog pumps, powersteering pump, AC, ECU, PATS,transmistion, tranny mounts, driveshaft, rear end Guages and a bunch of other crap

If you get a GT that is 98+ they have the PATS system which will invole swapping clusters, dash harness, and steering column. It's not really necessary to swap the column if you do everything else, but you will need the PATS halo off of the GT. It sits in the column cover on the ignition cylinder and detects the presence of the chipped PATS key. You will then need it programmed by the dealer. You can get around all that by simply swapping out the column and using the GT's original keys for the ignition and your keys for the doors and trunk.
97 and below don't have this in the GT's, so you can avoid all that stuff.
A/C system I think is different, mainly the compressor, radiator, fan, overflow reservoir, ECU, PCM (mounted inside passenger fender), cluster, tranny mount, exhaust, and I think a few emmissions components. That's the most of what I can remember off hand from the last time I did one.

My v6 has the option of the PATS system. I have installed the module into the rear of my car, so would I need to get all the PATS stuff replaced for the swap?
