4 cyl to 5.0 swap, what to look for

[mach5racing4]

I am going to look at a 1990 lx mustang that was a 4 cyl and then swapped to a 5.0. I was wondering what are good things to look for besides the obvious, body shape, interior, chassis, engine etc... any info would help thanks alot!!

Make sure it has all the V8 options.. 11" front brakes, rear sway bar, 8.8 limited slip rear end.. also make sure all the electrical works and that the tach is accurate. If you can get it in the air, try to verify that the tranny is a V8 tranny. Look the car over very carefully for quality issues.. be very careful buying a conversion car.
