I recently purchased a 95 mustang 3.8l swapped to a 5.0 HO it ran great until last week I went around a corner and it died. Let it cool down and it started ran for a bit then died so I towed it back home to diagnose the issue. I changed the tfi it was fried then I figured change fuel pump, fuel filter, fuses etc. It will now not want to start and if it does I have to throttle through to keep it running. It Smell's really rich so I pulled a plug and it was black so real rich I don't know what else to do im getting fuel and spark just a non running stang. Please help.

Any Check engine lights on? When you did the swap to the 5.0 from the 3.8 where did you get the PCM from? was it tuned?

I'd agree, it's rare to find a 5.0 for a swap that didn't have 'something' done to it, perhaps a fuel injector upgrade. If you're running a stock ECU and stock MAF and some aftermarket injectors that could put things out of adjustment.
