i just recently bought a 4banger coupe and would like to convert it to a 5.0. This will be my first conversion so i need to know what all is needed to make it a complete conversion.

click the link in my sig for a bunch of photo's of the process.


basically, everything gets changed.

fuel lines
rear brake line
rearend
tranny
tranny crossmember
engine
suspension (all)
brakes (all)
spindles (front)
master cylinder, brake booster
radiator
headlight wiring harness (has alternator plug on it, which is on the wrong side of 4 bangers)
eec engine harness (need one from the same year as the 4banger chassis to make life easier)
ecu
exhaust
quad shock brackets and quadshocks
pinion snubber
driveshaft


I dunno, I probably missed a bunch, but that should get you started [Big Grin]
