What other cars can accept the 5.0 powerplant????
i know of miatas, volvo 200, 700 and 900 series
what other common car can you do this to?

TwoToneTerror · May 15, 2004

I'm not sure but i'd be willing to guess it depends on the tools you have, like welder, cutting tools and such, because I'm sure you could fit a 5.0 in anything under the sun for the most part with enough money and the right equipment to do it with, so it all depends on your ambition.

-Bart

Show those ricers how to do it right, drop in a 5.0 into a little civic

hllon4whls · May 16, 2004

That is right. All that matters is your skill and/or pocket book. Try a 360 in a 85 daytona (used to be FWD now RWD) in all mild steel tube chassis.

samuraichamploo · May 16, 2004

i was moreso thinking along the idea of cars that dont need to be heavly modified (eg the volvos need new motor mounts and thats it (if your carburated))

or at least conversions that would cost less than 1k in parts.

and btw, i see that your in mandeville! im in new orleans!

jasonlee0704 · May 16, 2004

Ford Focus.

I betcha you can fit it in some Explorers/Broncos, too.

samuraichamploo · May 16, 2004

hllon4whls · May 16, 2004

no way those are FWD.

samuraichamploo · May 16, 2004

anything else?

jadedinpa · May 16, 2004

pick-em-up trucks. rangers are just begging to have a 5.0 in there

Michael Yount · May 16, 2004

They make a kit to convert the Focus from front wheel to rear wheel drive and put the 5.0 in that. Saltymaz - do a google search under RX7 V-8 - you'll find a bunch of sites - very common swap for both Chevies and Fords. There's also kits to put them in the Miata - commonly referred to as a Monster.

And to say that all the Volvo needs is new motor mounts to mount the 5.0L is kind of like saying if you want to be a millionaire, well, just get a million dollars. It's quite a bit more involved - as is any engine conversion. Carbed doesn't necessarily make it any easier - just different. The Volvo efi system is just like the Mustangs - so switching one to a carb entails the same kinds of things you went through switching your 93 to carb.

samuraichamploo · May 16, 2004

GO KARTS! of course

RydeOn · May 16, 2004

What kinda capris, the little convertable ones?

Michael Yount · May 16, 2004

I think you might've missed the posts that said that anything's possible with time and money. No substitute for cubic dollars....

do ya think there is enough space in a 1999dodge stratus to fit a 5.0?

jadedinpa · May 16, 2004

no, the ones that look just like mustangs. 79-86 models.

Michael Yount · May 16, 2004

Well, if one will go into a Focus, I don't know why it wouldn't go into a Stratus. Just bring your checkbook. Try this one...... http://www.ntahc.org/modifiedhealeys/Photos/126Marian/Marian.htm
