I have a 65 conv. Mustang and thinking about stuffing a 4.8 Liter from a 09 Gand Marque motor and front suspension in it but not sure if motor will fit. If possible, if not I'm going back with the 289 back to somewhat stock, need advice on getting started. Can't quite seem to find anything on the internet. THANKS

Look up 4.6 or 5.4
You will have to remove the front spring towers and install a
Mustang II front suspension .

Thanks I'll try looking it up, I've had the girl sitting in my garage for about a yr (new job, less money)had to replace floor and decided to just strip it down and upgrade things, brakes-wiring, so I thought I've had my father inlaws car just stting at my house for about 3yrs and it dawned on me to see if this would work. There's only 24,000 miles on it and it's in good shape (other than body damage)
