Sn95 v8 swap..

[Makdaddymac]

Since the v6 forums are dead,and all the knowledge is in the 5.0 boys.....
Im on the market for another car,i need fuel economy right now...So im thinking v6 mustang,cheap,easy to find,rwd,etc....if i decide to put a v8 in it,after i drive it to the ground.
Anyways i just wanted to know the main parts to swap,,,im not talking like ecu,block,another tranny,rear end etc...I probably go 302/351w with a t5 fox body doner or something.....
I just want to know the modifications needed to make the swap clean...
Like if everything is a direct bolt...
Im guessing,box the frame,and get some v8 mounts, drop and go.....of course skipping the blood and sweat,lol.....

you could search and keep us from answering this question tons of times.. theres a billion threads on this.. and everyone who answered in those threads are wore out.. you also basically answered your own questions when you asked the question by using the answer within the very same question.. brakes, ECu +harness, motor, motor mounts, etc.. its fairly simple if you think about it.. harness is plug and play.. change out the fuel lines (or so i've heard) but when i do mine on a project car im working on, i'll just change the factory ones over to fit the 5.0 style.. good luck.. and dont plan on doing this if you have no mechanical ability, or patience.. if you dont.. god help you

Always cheaper to sell a V6 car and buy a V8 car. MPG in the real world is about the same if not better in the 5.0 car.
