swap is never cheap if im not mistaken, and even if so it aint easy. find a running decent shape 5.0 for the cheapest solution. they can be gotten under 2k. fyi its spelled cowl hood and tachometer

agreed. unless u have a mechanic with all the right tools that will put it in for cheap, ur not gonna escape without some hefty bills. it also depends on weather u like a project or not. for some, the thought of a swap is a stupid one, but to others, its all in the restoration and customization.

Or learn how to do it yourself. There's nothing better than a girl who can rebuild her own Mustang!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!!!! Plus you'll appreciate your car more than you'll ever know!!
