Well it's been a while since I've been on here. I have a 94 V6 Mustang that's my daily driver. The V-6 gave up the ghost, head gasket. It has 100K on the rebuilt motor (290K on the car) so I'm considering a 5.0 swap. I put a post in the proper forum here. I don't have a ton of time to spend on the car put I do like it and much to the wife's dismay I don't want to get rid of it! I have a boat project, another car project (sorry it's a Buick!), and I build fiberglass custom car parts. Luckily I'm "retired" but time is still tight! Anyway this looks like a good place for info!

How attached are you to the car?

What's the feasibility of picking up a V8 car that needs some work and using yours as a parts donor or vice versa?

I'm thinking about harnesses, and possible gauge cluster issues @Mustang5L5 , k-member, EEC, fuel system, accessory drive, etc...

Not sure what other driveline differences their might be.
