Buy a wrecked 5.0 and start swapping. It would be super easy to swap in a carb.

there is a gt for sale on craigslist for parts by the whole harness n computer

[lawrence2012]

After I get harness I just run power to it?

Dude search on corral. There is an official swap thread.

[Silverhatch]

You def. need to google it. There is a ton of stuff to do, too much to write a step by step tutorial on here. Also need a basic idea of where everything is located in the 5 liter car. You would be miles ahead to buy a lightly wrecked GT and swap parts over. You can see where everything goes and all the parts needed will be at your fingertips.

Vital just went down this route and severely regrets not buying a complete wrecked 5.0.

I've done several engine swap along the lines of what you want to do.....getting a donor vehicle w/ a complete driveline is the best way to do it. It will have a lot of lines anad stuff that you don't think about when you start a swap.

[lawrence2012]

Well see I'm in wyotechs high performance class so I've got tools and time and I got the 4 cyl car cheap so that's why I'm doing it

[lawrence2012]

And corral.com?

[venom]

I'd still keep the donor car an option. You WILL be overwhelmed when you start buying misc. parts that are 5.0 specific.

Here is one of many posts from the corral;

I believe the 1984's had the 7.5" rear axle. Don't know how long that will live with a stout 5.0L.

.....I'm in wyotechs high performance class......

Then you should know what you are doing......every Wyodork I run into seems to know everything. Hopefully you are not one of those.

[lawrence2012]

No I'll gladly admit I don't know a lot of things about cars and will never know everything there is a lot of those here but I'm just wanting to build me a nice fast little mustang I'm starting high performance in December and trying to get all my parts together now or atleast get some information and Pitt boss I'm wanting to do a 5 lug conversion anyway

Then why not take the time and do the 4banger and turbo? Would give you practice on an inexpensive car to learn what is a very popular power adder these days.

I did the swap the hard way. Listen. Pick up a doner. Car
