Before and After

[jefferz]

Hey guys...I just got my car cleaned up a little bit after the 5.0 Swap from the 3.8. I also bought a set of 97 Cobras and put them on the car...here are some pics...

All three of our stangs:

was the stang that got the 5.0 swaped into it a 3.8 before?

Yes

Looks good, how much did the swap cost you? (if you dont mind telling)

 

[ryan218]

Yes

big difference?

 

[jefferz]

I would say no more than 1200 total.. I bought a wrecked car for 800....and then turned around and swapped everything over with a few minor things i had to replace. it was great..I have a couple pics of the wrecked GT that I bought that i will find.

big difference?



Oh hell yeah lol

So i guess your running an a9(L,P) with the gt harness? Did you use the existing harness for everthing else. Lights,dash etc

Here are the two pictures from the ad on craigs list:

Heres the wrecked GT right after we brought it home:

The only harness we had to use was the one from the computer that runs through the firewall through the passengers side in the engine bay. Im not much of an electrical person so I had a lot of help on this.

I figured going into this that the only smart way to do is this is to buy the wrecked car and i just happened to see this car and i drove about 300 miles to get it!

Cool, for some reason i thought you bought a wrecked fox car, thats a good deal for that sn95.

 

[jefferz]

I have heard about people buying a fox body and doing that too but its a bit more difficult. Everything pretty much just went right in to place. its been done for about two weeks now but I just havent had time to take pictures until today

Thanks! Ive been in the V8 crowd for about a year (I have an 02 Mineral Grey GT) but this is my first 5.0! This 95 is our baby as we have had it since 97 and it has high miles and when the car started to die I figured it was time for it to grow up
