Default Re: Engine Swap 4Cyl To V8---HELP PLEASE

all-right lets get something straight the cars are the same thing no welding subframe connectors needed.here is the major differance's
springs,brakes,to put the brakes from the 5.0 u have to change the spindles/steering knuckles,clutch cable,throttle cable,tranny crossmember,fuel lines..

take the 2.3 engine out and take the computer harness out .put in new computer and harness in.plug in all connections,dont forget about ground wires and the blue wire that connects to the starter solenoid thats a power for the computer.the old power steering lines will connect to the 5.0 pump,change the fuel lines,put your tranny in with the 5.0 dual hump cross member,change your clutch cable,drive shaft is the same,install the 8.8 rearend,change out the brakes,spindels,springs.theres a few other things but u get the picture let me know if u need more info.ive done like 4 of the swaps on mustangs and 1 on a thundrbird.good luck
