So i recently picked up a pretty clean 93 lx with a 2.3l in it with plans to swap to out of the next yr or two. well today i found a donor for a really good price and need to make sure thing swill all work as planned.
The donor is a 2000 mountaineer with a 5.0 engine with an auto transmission. the engine has 40k miles and the transmission has around 60k. What i need to know is will the engine, rear end and trans swap over to my 93 fox body with very few issues? Also because ill need a 5.0 wiring harness and ecu can i pull all of that out of the truck and install it in my car? With my knowledge it should be able to get switched over with very few issues. i know ill need a different set of headers, exhaust and radiator/fan which isn't a problem. Is their anything else i should be worried about.
the donor doesn't have ac and has damaged power steering reservoir so i probably won't have either until a later date.
