if you can find a complete donor car youll be set. you can find donor cars at auctions for cheap money. if not go to a boneyard and look for one. if you do it piece by piece it will get pricey.

You will need motor mounts and a 5.0.Going carbed is the easiest route so i suggest carbed it also offers many more less expensive mods to be done.</P>


The AOD if its an auto will bolt directly to your5.0 with no problems.Just make sure your TV cable is adsjusted properly or it will burn up in no time.</P>


The radiator will be the same as long as it has air conditioning (which means it will be atleast a 2 core).</P>


Other than that its a very straight foward swap that can be done with parts from any local parts store and be completed in a weekend.</P>


Good luck,and let us know if you need more help like part numbers or references as to what will swap over.</P>

If its a stick (T-5) you will need a new throwout bearing and i belive clutch fork to make it compatible with the 5.0.I have part numbers on exactly what you need it you need them let me know.
