engine swap

[soupnatizzle]

im going to start by saying hello

im soon to be acquiring a 1993 hyperkinetic 302 / 5.0 HO roller motor for my 1995 non-gt ford mustang.
its 400 for the motor and an additional 100 for the 5 speed manual transmission.

i was wondering a few things..

first: what problems might i have in this type of swap.?
will there be any parts i need to by to make the swap possible how much
extra will it cost besides the 500 for engine and transmission.. ect ect..

second: how much performance will i gain in doing this? going from the v6 3.8l 145HP to a 8v 5.0l HO with 225

thank you for your time

well is your car currently a standard or an automatic?

one issue you may have is the computer and wiring harness. You will need one out of a GT to make yours a efi 5.0L. Also i bet you need a different tranny bracket.

ya i new i would need a new computer and wiring harness ill check junkyards and ebay..

asuming the engine has 80k miles on it and the tranny has 20k is 500 a good deal.?

and...

how much will i need to put into the car to make it compatable. in money.? for computer, wire harness and stuff.

so all together what would it cost me?

500 bucks sounds like a good deal. As for how much to money you need to put in it to do the swap i have no idea. I would think that you also have to upgrade the fuel pump aswell.
