I am about to start swapping over my 2.3 to 5.0. And I was wondering what else I need. I have everything on this list plus parts that my engine didn’t come with when I bought it. But if I’m missing anything I’d appreciate it if I was told so I can grab the part before I start
I just need it to start run and drive and then I can work more into the technical stuff like brake calipers upgrade and all that stuff. Here’s the list of what I have:
  • Fuel lines
  • Fuel filter
    Serpentine Belt
  • Thermostat plus housing
  • Throttle cable
  • Crossmember
  • Radiator
  • Clutch fan
  • Fan shroud
  • Driveshaft
  • Distributor wires
  • Egr
  • Header gasket
  • Headers
  • Clutch cable
  • Springs
  • Fuel rail wire harness
  • Throttle body
  • Fuel rails and injectors
  • Alternator
  • Transmission
  • Engine
  • ECU
  • O2 sensor harness
  • Wiring harness
  • Transmission harness
  • Rear end

Well the year of the car would help. Do you have the harness for the ecu and dash?

Following. Trying to get some information about the same thing myself. I bought the car with the swap almost entirely finished. All that’s left is the wiring. 1987 4cyl to a 1991 GT 5.0. Just can’t find what wiring harness I’ll need and if I have to redo all the wiring.
