Hi, new member here from Kansas City.
I fix and flip boats and cars for some side income, and I have a 1998 Explorer 5.0 that's not selling. So I happened to think of a cool project idea for myself. By an non-op 94/95 Mustang and swap the 5.0 into it.
What will I need to make the swap work? What are good mods to do while the engine is out? I want a T5, will the 5.0 Engine work even though it's an automatic? Does it have a compatible bellhousing? I plan on rebuilding the 5.0 while it's out, what are some good ways to make power in a car that will probably be a daily driver? My mechanical experience is rebuilding marine motors, mostly SBC and BBC, so this will be my first Ford project.
Basically, take me to school on Mustang 5.0 swaps.
