Default Super Coupe Drive-train swap

Hey guys I'm new to this website, I am on here for my buddy with a stock 1998

Mustang 5 speed. Fords are new to me as I own a Camaro. Either way I' trying

to help him out. anyway...

We have found a 1995 Super coupe 5 speed in a junkyard. The man said we

could have for 700 bucks. It has been sitting for a while, but the blower spins

freely. I have yet to do a compression test, I have heard of the blown head

gaskets caused by 15 pounds of back pressure. But we were wondering how

much of the drive-train would bolt onto the Mustang. Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

I read a stick that cleared up a lot of the confusion except, such as the trans wont fit, but will the rear end?

Pretty much what ^^ he said. Is that the whole car for the price, or just the motor. Try to get the whole car if you can, will make like much easier doing the swap. You can also put the older pulley(87-93) on for a little more boost.

Thanks guys! we read about that, gaining 1-2 psi of boost, my brother told me about supercoupeperformance and got 18 psi out of their pulley setup. Do you know of any problems we'll encounter? I heard about lengthening wires and all, but how much? Thunderbird wiring harness and ecu? Thanks so much for your help
