Question
Hi, I know someone who is selling a 1990 LX Mustang. Its a really good price and in great condition. The only problem is its only a 4 Cylinder. I was wondering, can I put a 5.0 engine in it? I don't know much about cars so it might be a stupid question =) Thanks for any help

Yes, you can put a 5.0 in the lx's with 4cyl. But it takes a fair amount of work, if you really don't know that much about cars or know someone who does. I would steer you away from this project, but if you know someone who will honestly help you it can be fun and rewarding. My best suggestion should you decide to do this would be to get a v8 car for parts (a wrecked one) because you will need the motor, wiring, computer, transmison, Trans cross member, rearend, exhaust, and other small pieces. I hope this has helped you with your desision. I don't whant to scare you away I just thought you should know everything envolved. Good luck! P.S. MM&FF (muscle mustangs and fast fords) did a article where they talk about everything required to do the swap I think they call it project white trash?
