I've done it before it all depends on if you have a good donor car. If you have a wrecked 5.0 car and can just grab what you need off of it then it's fairly simple if you have the know how. On the other hand if you only have a motor for the 5.0 swap than you have your work cut out for you. As for the parts you will need. Motor of course,tranny wiring harnedd W/cpu,fuel pump,rear end,and if you wanna stop some gt brakes. Goof luck with whatever you do.

i helped rob with his swap his LX from a 4 cylinder auto to turbo v8 stick car.
it took some time. but it really wasnt that hard.
ive seen several people accomplish this swap and not one of them had a donor car.

I did it with a donor car.
really was not that hard, I did a 5 speed conversion at the same time.
