5 liter swap into my 68

well, my personal suggestion would be a fuel injected 351, but I am a big fuel injection junkie...anyway the 5.0 is the same basic engine as the 289/302...the diffferences being things like siamese bore in the 5.0, a roller cam, different heads, etc, but still the same basic block...in other words as far as bolting up goes, it will bolt right in using either the stock tranny or the t5....as far as the t5 goes, if you are using it with the 5.0 all you will need is a t5 tranny crossmember that a lot of manufacturers sell for the classics...maybe some other stuff, I'd look through the conversion kits that places like mustangs plus sells....now for wiring, while they sell those kits too I honestly dont think they are worth the money, wiring isnt hard, you just have to understand wiring diagrams...but if you dont like wiring, buy that kit too

p.s. from what I understand the 351 will bolt up just as easy

They have the diagrams and also you can order harnesses from them. Supposed to be the best harness but I've heard they are crazy slow at getting stuff out to you.

you'll also need to redo the fuel system on the car. there's a lot of debate on the best way to do it, but you can also get a "kit" from some of the mustang guys, Ron Morris has one at the link below.

www.ronmorrisperformance.com is a good source for some of the EFI swap parts, I've been extremely happy with the few things I've gotten there (speedo cable, rear leaf perches).

as for installing the T5 in the car, think ahead on how you want to do the clutch - cable, linkage, or hydraulic. if you want to use the original style linkage, you'll need to get a Z-bar pivot ball that'll bolt to the engine.

one other item - the underhood shocktower to firewall brace won't clear a 5.0 intake. you'll have to either make a tubular one or go with one from TCP, Laurel Mountain Motorsports, or other.

i just finished the EFI swap into my '67 fastback, so I can provide some tips...
