If you've got the time, go for it. At a minimum, you need fuel lines, tank, all V8 engine components, Trans, ECM harness, injector harness, all front accessories, exhaust...I'm sure I'm missing a few things here....<br /><br />"Blind" will jump in here anytime now... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,0,17,20,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> and all of those harness's need to be from a `93 mustang 5.0 or it won't plug up right, they even moved the fuel pump relay that year to the ecu harness.<br /><br />if you want it to be identical to a 5.0, you'll need to change struts/shocks/springs/spindles/rearend/rear brake hard lines/front rotors/wheel bearings/calipers/master cylinder/brake booster/vacuum distro/bap sensor/tad/tab solenoids...etc.<br /><br /><br />best bet would be to find a wrecked `93 5.0 and swap EVERYTHING over that makes it stop or go, or controls those functions.<br /><br /><br />You'll also need to of course change the rear end, I swapped the entire fuel tank but you could get away with just the fuel pump assembly, you have to change it because the fuel lines come out differently, then the fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay also need to be changed.<br /><br />it's a big job but nothing is particularly hard as it's just unbolting and bolting stuff up... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>lowriderryda</b> <br /><small>Member # 7397</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,0,18,2,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thanks for the info looks like its more than i can handle <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SVT Fox</b> <br /><small>Member # 1837</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,0,18,15,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> blind is the man <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
