Hey there, I don't have a Mustang or anything, but I am looking into getting one as one of my options for my next car (after I sell both of mine). I was wondering how easy it would be to swap a 5.0 into a 4-cyl. 87-93 'stang. The benefit of this rather than buying a five-oh is, age of motor, but main reason is..... INSURANCE. Is it a direct drop? Anything else I should know about this.... like, other differences between the 5.0 and 2.3L cars (besides the motor), like would I have smaller brakes? Thanks a lot.
