2.3 to 5.0 swap
 
What all is involved in swap a 2.3 out for a 5.0. I will probably stay carbed, just to keep it simple. I've heared that the front syspension is different, is this true. I know I'll have to swap rear ends. Is there anything else I wll have to change. Will all of my gauges still work without the computer? How much more complicated would it be to keep the fuel injection?

you also have to change the transmission. the suspension difference that your thinking of are the springs. due to the decreased weight of the 4 cylinder engine, they put in softer springs up front. it shouldn't be complicated at all to keep fuel injection, i don't know what differences there are in the harnesses between the 4 and 8.
