Ok, here's what I got..92 STX extended cab, 4.0 4x4 (of course), 5-spd.

My buddy is getting a 94 F-150 regular cab 5.0 4x4 auto and he only wants the front clip and i can get anything else. I plan on swapping the engine/tranny/transfer case into mine. Truck was a daily driver but got side swiped. Supposedly runs great, I should know more in the next few days.

I know I need wiring harness and computer from donor, new motor mounts, oil filter relocator, headers/manifolds....what else do I need? Also, can anyone give me a straight answer on the headers in the Jegs swap kit? Headmans I believe, can't seem to get a straight answer reading the forums.

The truck intake won't work, you will need a car intake. I'd also get the harness and ecu from a car or ex, as they are more friendly to upgrades. The truck ecu will work as long as you change NOTHING else on the motor (cam, heads, intake, etc)

It's way too tall, even with a 3" body lift, it still won't clear the hood closing...

That's what I figured. May use the truck computer until I can get something else, unless I find something before I do the swap
