In the process of putting a 5.0 in my '86 3.8l 'Stang.

1) They're not THAT bad, just throw on a set of E7's. You can't run much of a cam, but I think a B cam will fit, however I don't think you need one.

2) No your V-6 computer won't work. I'd get A9L computer for it.

3) You won't need bigger than stock injectors. With a speed density car like yours, no you don't need a different comptuer, but yes you will have to do some tuning with a adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

4) Keep the AOD with the 302.

5) You get what you pay for.....if you buy a cheap torque converter....it won't be a good peice. I've heard that GER(I think that's the name) are good converters, and HiFlow5.0 just got a TCI unit, aks him how he likes his.

6) Don't waste your time on that. Get a off-road H-pipe and a cat-back or if you can't swing a cat-back get the stock cat back off at 87+ LX 5.0.


Hope this helps
