is the linclon 5.0 motor the same as a mustang 5.0? besides the intake being on the opsite way is there any thing else different? i got a lincoln for free with a 5.0 in it i was going to take it out and build it then swap it in to my fox it keep down on down time of the fox. a little in side would be great

You will need the computer out of the lincoln cause the firing order will be different, and also the main harness i would imagine
nope, just change the cam out.



to answer your question- I dont know.
reason- i dont know if it is a roller motor or not. the blocks physically are probably the same and the parts should swap over but you'll need the valvetrain from the mustang I believe. And if it isnt a roller motor then you'll need to drill and tap the valley for the dog bones. Heads may ne different too. take it apart and have a look at it. I dont see a reason it cant be 'made' to work. but it wont be a straight swap

overall I dont know what else needs to be changed out but there will be some differences how ever minor they maybe.

good luck.
