I have a 1990 2.3, 5 speed car. I also have a 1987 Lincoln Continental LIMO with 5.0 and AOD tranny. What all would I need besides a new FORD MOTORSPORTS driveshaft to put this 5.0 into my stang? Would I need a Mustang radiator? Motor mounts? Crossmembers? What else would I need to do this swap? Would the factory computer out of the 2.3 work? Or would I need to use the cpu out of the lincoln? ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

the motor and tranny should bolt sraight in, as for the 2.3 computer no it will not work... I don't know if the wiring will work (someone els will) but if it will the linclon computer should just plug in... Someone can correct me as I'm not sure, but the 5 speed crossmember should be a double hump so duel exhaust should clear it as well...
