I have a 94 V6 5spd. I blew the head gasket and ever since I got it fixed, its been running like crap. I have the oppertunity to drop a 5.0L from a fox body. The engine has 160000 km on it. (99 000 miles) The engine is stock and its a buddy of mine. He is willing to sell it to me for 400$ CND. (297$ USD). And we would install it ourselves. With the ECU and the exhaust, etc. I'm looking at under 1000$CND. What is your opinion on this. Good deal? Should I rebuild the engine before dropping it? How much would it cost to get it rebuilt. And one of my main concerns: Would the engine be too strong for the tranny and rear end? I know that both V6 and 5.0L Mustangs of that year have a T-5 tranny, but I heard that the gears are different in the V6.
Thank you.
Thank you.
