Why is this in Classic Tech?

Chances are the engines are different.

Your asking the wrong people.

This is Classic Tech, 1965 thru 1973, your in the wrong forum.

First off, virtually ANY engine can fit ANY car with enough effort and $$$$.
Second, here's a link to the StangNet V6 forum:
94-04 V6 Mustang - V6 Tech at StangNet

and the fox body 5.0 forum:
Fox 5.0 Mustang - Fox 5.0 Tech at StangNet

Wed all love to help you here, but we generally deal with V8's and straight 6's,
you know, like old CLASSIC MUSTANG STUFF!
HTH,

You want an easy way to check if the intake manifolds will swap without doing a damn thing ? Go to your favorite parts supplier and have the pull a set of intake manifold gaskets out for both year motors..... infact you can look them up online from your chair and see if they are the same part number. If they are the same part number you are good to go. If not that doesn't mean they don't interchange, there just may be slight differences and it could still fit.
