the 5.0 swap

5.0wanted · 12-28-1999, 04:09 PM

I'm sure you all have been questioned on this topic many times, so well here it goes again. Is there a book of some sort about swaping in a 5.0 into a 4cyl Mustang? Is it pretty much an easy swap? Any help will help me greatly. Thanks

If you are going to swith engines do not switch to a 5.0L Switch to a 5.8L. Many people have talked about problems with the 5.0L. The head gaskets and other things mess up. The block supposoivly cracks easy. You also get much more horsepower from the 351. As far as swap it depends on year and body style and the engine you plan on putting in. And how wild you are getting with the engine. Just my opioin
