3.0 to 5.0 questions

[Trick450r]

So my 3.0 just lost oil press. and developed a rod knock so out with the old in with the new.

initial questions
1) whats the best year 5.0 (FI) as far as ease of swapping (Im not a fan of tracking eternal electronic woes on swaps.)
2) What trans options do i have? i'd like a t5 but can i bolt my tcase to that?
3) Will my factory rear end handle the power?
4) Will the factory fuel system hook up?
5) Am i going to need driveshafts for all the tranny options, or is their one i can get close enough to factory location?
6) On a more general topic, with a 302 how well do you guys think my ranger would tow my 96' firebird on a light tandem axle car trailer with brakes? (car is about 3100 lbs, dont know trailer weight, but its not heavy)
any other general suggestions are appreciated!

All have been covered, more than once. Check out the Tech Library and Search function, you shouldn't have many (if any) questions after that.

 

[Trick450r]

the problem with searching is you cant search the term "3.0" or "5.0"
because its below the minimum characters blah blah blah...care to explain how exactly i search 5.0 swap? without typing 5.0?

Just type in "302 engine swap"

For the most part you can look in the tech pages or look in the v-8 forum section.

Just browse through the topics, most all your questions have been asked at least 100 times before.

I don't mean to come across like an ahole.
