Sounds like your a newb with some skillz!
What all do you have for the swap? You said motor, i take for granted you have the Vam and Computer to accompany it?

Also the 5 speed swap, the clutch assembly, pedals etc?
Looks like you have alot of it under control, Should turn out to be a neat ride!

well i am realy atached to this car it was my first stang and my first vert
i have put alot of thought in to this. i have the motor comp and harness out of an svo. im gona steel the pedles out of another project car i have(92 coupe) and the motor is about to be torn down by the guy who sold it to me and i, for bigger valves a roller cam and some freshoning. the turbo will be sent off to a guy he knows to be rebuilt with a bigger impeller
its gona take longer than i would like to get to the swap but i think the wait will be worth it
and my 5.0 buddies tell me im waisting my time. ive lerned to tune them out

Thats cool, we need more of you around. most 5.0 guys dont wana hear anything else. my dad is very stuck on v8's. he actually regrets buying me the mustang with the 4 cylinder in it. I am a 4cyl purist I guess. i still accept that a v8 will make more power in the end but then again I am not trying to see how fast I can fly down 1.4 mile track. I like my 4 bangers for there dependability, lightness in corners and ease of working on.

to the other, welcome and good luck also.
