3.8 to a 5.0

Yes, but don't underestimate the sheer amount of work involved. I'm sure Chythar will be along shortly to share his experience.

Who, me?

Just did the swap myself, it is a LOT of work. If you are not attached to your V6, I highly recommend selling it and just buying a GT. My sig below has a link to my swap thread, I recommend you read it to get an idea of the work and time involved.

You can cut the time down a lot if:

1. You have experience swapping engines
2. You have several days in a row to do the swap
3. You're not interested in cleaning/painting the donor engine

Now, to answer your question, yes a 5.0 will fit in a 94-95 V6 engine bay. 96-98 Mustangs have more parts to swap, and thus will be more work. I do not recommend doing the swap unless you have a wrecked GT or Cobra to do the swap, because there are a lot of parts you have to swap as well as the engine. Piecing all those parts together will take forever and make your project take longer.
