Ok im thinking about buying a 96 v-6 mustang and dropping a 5.0 in it. Will it fit right in? Also if it is a standard will that tranny work with a v-8? Also what are the bad sides of doing this, let me know what you think!

a 5.0 should fit in it cause they put them in the 95' whitch is the same body. however, you will have to mod a few things inside the engine compartment. (minor) other than that, slap a t-5, or a tremmic on that badass

what he said...what kind of 5.0 stock of modded.... if u use a modded one than use a fox motor that way u can use the comp from a fox... they r supposed to have a more aggressive fuel curve in them... good luck

Okay thanks but the 94,95, came with a 5.0 so i dont think that the engine would fit in because the throttle body and the intake manifold is diff, and it wont clear the hood. Let me know. I was going to but a new 5.0 with port and polished heads and new cams basically a perfromance engine would that qualify as a fox engine?

the 5.0 that came outta the 94 95 will slip right into a 96... same car jsut come with diff motor...what i mean wheni say fox motor is get a 5.0 out of a 89 - 93 stang... there r slight differences than that 5.0 outta a 94 95.... for one the intake doesn't have that stupid elbow.... basically used to clear the alternator...hiope this helps..

noslow50, are you sure that there are no other differences between the 95 mustang gt and a 95 mustang with a v6 besides the motor because i am looking to do the same thing as 90notch50liter

i know its old but yes it would clear the stock hood and i think u would have to swap in a 50 k-member also

i am currently doing the swap. it is a little more involved than people realize. what kind of part do you already have to work with? obviously you need more than just the motor. i am about half way through my swap and i am waiting on parts to complete. but i took a different route, i am going with a carb so i do not have to deal with the computer and harness bullsh*t. i weighed my options and decided that was the best way to go for me. PM me if you have any questions that i could help with.
