[lalo_pomona]

i need help of knowing if its impossible to do a engine swap on a
1989 ford mustang LX 2.3L EFI engine to a 5.0 engine
and if its posible what do i need to change from the car

 

[jstang209]

yes its possible, all u need is 5.0 engine/tranny/rearend and cant forget the wiring harness and your set

Yep sure is possible. Thats what my car used to be Trust me if you do it you'll be extremely happy. As for what to do search the forumns or try google to see exactly what needs to be done. It helps if you find a wrecked 5.0 to pull parts from.

mines was an ex 4 banger too, i didnt need to purchase anything other than the donor car, and i put all new fluids and what not. And what do u mean "change alot of stuff?" only things u need to chage like i mentioned early is the engine, tranny, rear end, wiring harness, computer, and guages if u want. optional is brakes, suspension,and spindles.

i wouldnt call the brakes "optional" as a swap part. being as your gonna be going ALOT faster, haha. 5.0's are some serious punch, and you dont want half the brakes and double the motor.

just my quick .02.

get a donor car, best bet.
