Huh? What are you swapping said mark VIII engine into? That would change the required parts significantly. That list looks as if you are swapping into a V6 mustang.

If you are swapping into a 96+ GT, then you should already have hydroboost. Also, why not use a the origional 2v computer in said 96+ GT? It should have basically the same sensors as the 4v. You won't have to mess with trying to make every single elctronic system work on the new computer or with swapping harnesses. Just plug the right sensors into the right places and get a tune.
Driveshaft - again, if you are starting with a manual 96+ GT, then you already have the correct driveshaft. If you are starting with an automatic or V6 mustang, then you only need to replace the yoke.

So what is the car being swapped into? That's a rather important part. :eek:

Hey im doing the same swap on a 1998 gt. It has a auto unfortunately! do you really need to change the yoke ?

Also for the Mark VIII swap you will need an cobra intake manifold if its 1993-1996 i think it is, as the stock one will hit the firewall.:canada:
 
If you are swapping from an auto to a manual, I'm pretty sure you will need a new yoke. The T45 and T3650 use a yoke with a higher spline count... 28 spline vs 26 spline or something like that.
 
duhhhhhhhhhhhh

i'm sorry i knew that i just forgot to add what i was putting it into

a 1999 mustang V6 auto
but yes you are correct on the drive shaft yoke its just a whole bunch easier to replace the whole drive line than to disassemble the driveline to change the yoke!

but hey to each his own
but as far as changing the intake and junk.....not completely nessecary

if your on a budget or have 8 kids like i do you just kinda modify the firewall (beat the **** out of it!!!)

Thats only an option if u have a mullet..... :nonono:


Buy the right parts and do it right. Don't bfh it.......:ban:
 
hey no mullet here as a matter of fact i go out on mullet patrol........my mullet senses get to tingling and i bust out in laughter when i get near one and i cant help but poke at it with a stick to see if its gonna move !!!

and BTW billfisher told me to beat the firewall..........

i aint spending 700 on an intake when its cheaper to beat the firewall!
although i did find a complete cobra upper and lower for 200 so i might buy it!
