ok. this will be my first 5.0 swap and i have a 2 part question. i have a 90 LX Convertable. it has the 2.3L/Automatic. and im wanting to change it over to a 302. i know i need to swap the frame mounts,engine bay wirring, cross member and go from a 7.5 to an 8.8 rearend..what else am i going to have to swap out?

and 2nd question is: im thinking bout going with a 94 thru 96 8.8 rearend in the foxbody of mine. ive heard a few of my friends doing these with their foxbodies. does the 94 or 95 V6 options have them or do i have to get one out of a GT?
