getting the motor done for my fox roller..

the question i have is this.

the donor motor was out of a 95 5.0 im going carb so any diffrences with the intake are not going to matter, and i have a bellhousing and t5 from a fox so im all set on that end..

now, with that said, am i going to run into any problems with the front accessories (no ac) when putting this into the car, or should everything fit ok

The only difference I know of between the short blocks is that 94-95 used hypereutectic pistons, whereas 87-92 used forged. The 93 Mustangs were also treated to the hypereutectics.

I'm pretty sure you need the entire accessory setup from the fox.
The 95 stuff is not the same.

Where did you read this? I thought my 92 had hypereutectic pistons... If what you said is true...then I have forged??

I can feel a bananna dance coming on.....

The changeover was made late in the '92 model run, so a fair amount of '92's were built with Hyper pistons.
