I have a 94 mustang that came with a 3.8 I am trying swap with a 93 5.0 I wanted to know what all do I have to change to make swap successful.
Do I get these parts from a 93 5.0 car or a 94Most importantly, the motor, k-member,computer and wiring, motor/trans mounts and some other things. Also instrument cluster.
There are write ups out there. Thought about buying a donor car? Sounds like it would be easier, than buying piece by piece.

Car has been in family since 94 so i dont want to get rid of it but the motor was knockin and heads went out on 3.8 so i want to put 5.0 in it..just want to know what parts i need to complete already have engine just need to know other conponentsCan I ask why? It would be cheaper and easier to simply buy a 5.0 SN95 that has either a damaged or no drivetrain than to go through the hassle of swapping over suspension, wiring, electronics,, mounts, etc. Those cars are dirt cheap. I see decent running ones all day long for 3-4 grand. Just my 2 cents.
Are you mechanically inclined? Ever done anything like this before? I wouldn't suggest a swap done by someone who has never done one. Its easy if you understand whats going on, but its not if you are in a learning process.
Like mikestang63 stated, it might be better if you bought a GT, rather than going through all this. Your going to be spending almost $1000 alone, and that's if you can find a donor car.
No I am not but i just need to know the parts so i can get them for my mechanic
