Engine Swap
In order to swap a 5.0l into my '86 2.3l what is everything I need besides tranny, engine, computer and rear axle. Also what is the horsepower difference between the 5.0l what year do I want?
Do i need a new fuel pump and everything like that? |

I just did this swap myself, it cost me around 2k, but it was 100% worth it. All this are for an auto, manual will be different.
You will need Complete EFI motor Tranny Fuel pump dash harness and engine harness Computer Fuel lines Cooling fan Radiator Driveshaft Rear end (7.5" will work, i'm keeping mine in until i get gears in it) Springs Shifter w/cable Starter, Alternator, Power steering, A/C, Smog pump. Air cleaner assembly w/mass air o2 sensor and o2 sensor harness belts, hoses, nuts, bolts, etc.. Its an easy swap, everything bolts right in, at least it did with my '93 (blew the 2.3L POS up) I can help you out with the swap if you decide to do it, its a real wakeup when you have that 5.0 sitting under your hood. ------------------ '93 notch converted to a 5.0 AOD, off road H-Pipe, 2 1/2 inch flows, 3.73's, 155 lph pump, K&N, Alum. driveshaft, B&M flexplate. No ET with the 5.0 yet. Columbus, Ohio |

You don't need a new fuel pump. 2.3L's and 5.0's had the same pumps.

the best 5.0 engine to swapwould be from 89 to 92. reason is they started the computer in 89 and used forged pistons. in 93 they went back to cast.
