Snag a 94-95 GT with the k-member and front suspension. Everything should be a direct swap. The hard part will be what to do with the existing PATS system as well as the function of the cluster without swapping in the earlier clusters. Its all do-able it will just take some inginuity and time.

thatdavidkid · 06-04-2007, 08:56 PM

that's awesome.. i had no idea it was that simple...

tulabeast · 06-04-2007, 09:21 PM

car is already paid off...and i already have built 5.0 with 347 stroker kit...and plus i want to be different

theres no 99+ stangs here with a 5.0 in it...plus if something breaks..parts are hella lot cheaper than 4.6 mod motors...i know ive had a few

95 GTS · 06-05-2007, 05:11 PM

not a hard swap.

If i was gonna swap a motor in a v6, it would be an ls1 anyways

94-95 je racing k member

if you have a manual, it is alread a t5 you just need to change the input shaft to work with the 5.0. I know a guy in a 3700 pound car going 11.7os on his HC 302 with one. he puls 1.5 60s.

slap a complete 8.8 rear in there as well and you can do the uppers and lowers ta the same time.

drastic_measure · 06-06-2007, 03:02 PM

what about wiring? i have the wiring harness.etc but do i HAVE to change my cluster, etc right away?

thatdavidkid · 06-06-2007, 03:17 PM

i would go w/ aftermarket guages in a custom cluster.. just my .02 tho..
