well i have a 1997 4.6L gt and well for the $$ it takes to make a 4.6 FAST i could have a killer 5.0. i already have a 302 motor built that i was planning on putting in a fox body but as the way things are looking now that will not happen. i was wondering what all would have to be changed in order for the 302 to work in the 1997. i know i will need a new tranny and most likely a k-member from a 1994-1995 for the motor mounts and such. i will most likely not do fuel injection but is there anything major that i am missing in order for this swap to take place??

Easier? Sell it and find a 95? I guess that's not what you want to hear though but that's only what I think and most of time me think not good

It's doable. You can even use your EEC-V to run it, with some tweaks (do a google search, someone did a 5.0 swap into a 96+ V6 using a 5.0 from an Explorer (complete with coil packs) and the EEC-V from a 97 GT. Remember that the result will be emissions *illegal*, in case you have testing in your area.

I agree with Boss351 though, I'd just find a good condition 95 instead, save the hassle. There really is very little different between a 95 and 97 other than the tailights and drivetrain.

i wont have a prob gettin a EEC-V out of a 94, 95 and the wiring harness and inspection i can get around unless they wont do the sniffer test on the car since its OBII and they have to hook it up to the comp.

also the engine is set up to be carbureted so a EEC-V wont be that important at the beginning but eventually i would like it to be fuel injected.
