need help on a 2.3L to 5.0L engine swap

[1fastfox]

Hi. My name is Patrick and I live in Goose Creek, SC. I was wondering if anyone can help me with a 2.3L to 5.0L engine swap. If u live close and could come and help me that would be great or if you could just give me some helpful tips. Anything is greatly appreciated.

heres a pic of it at our (Lowcountry Mustang Club) last car show.

My '93 LX

there should be a lot of posts on 4 cyl swaps. There are a lot of details you should pay attention to if you are trying to go fuel injected. If you are going carb'ed, pretty much what you see is what you get, and you should be able to work your way thru. Once you get working, you should post specific questinos, and you are likely to get more response. If you do a search, you should find answers to a lot of your questions.

good luck - nice looking car btw.

Just curious, but I'm assuming you know that you'll want the 8.8 inch rear out of a 5.0, and that the tranny is different? Other than that, it's not really very complicated unless you want to keep fuel injection.
