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?
