[samuraichamploo]

Whats involved in putting a 5.0 in a 89 volvo 760?
I really want to do this, but cant find any 'howto' info on it.
if anyone can supply me with some links, that would be fabuloustic.
I already have a bunch of info on a miata, but i dont like miatas...

Look for MICHEAL YOUNT he is the man you wanna talk to on here, he won't be hard to find and has done the swap and is one smart fella and nice guy to boot. He has about a million posts on here....ok about 3800 anyway.

Go to www.converseengineering.com and www.brickboard.com (select the V-8 conversion forum). As swaps go - it's relatively straightforward; but any swap is a major undertaking. PM if you want to chat about it further. When you get done it can look like this (car's on the first page; engine's on the last page)"

Ok, the best question I can ask is -
Can you provide me a list of the parts i ---NEED--- for the swap?
Keep in mind I have a complet (running) Donor mustang for this.
I dont want to pay 850$ for a kit that looks like it has 100$ of parts. I just dont happen to know what exact parts they are.
and those forums at brickboard are way outdated!

also, do you think long tube headers would work with this?

ahhh, nevermind; i changed my mind on posting.

saltymaz - everyone does their conversions a little differently. So no, there's not a specific list of parts I can give you; I can tell you how mine was done. There are no long tubes available that will fit unless you have them custom made - at the back of the engine where the stock Mustang headers collector is -- it's MUCH tighter on space than in the the Stang. In any event, this isn't 5.0Tech, so email me if you have more questions.
