93 ranger 5.0 swap questions

[93prostreetranger]

Hi,

I am just starting to do my first 5.0 swap. I have a 93 ranger with a 4.0 and manual trans. in it. I have a 91 LSC with an 5.0 H.O. auto trans. My questions are . Will the LSC engine mounts work with my ranger or should i buy some L&L mounts. Second will the LSC ECU and harness work on the ranger, I know it is a speed density engine. Can it be upgraded to a MAF engine. Which harness should be used the LSC or is there a better one to use. Also I am going to install a T-5 into the truck, how can the LSC ECU be modified to work with the T-5. I am wanting the truck to be in the range of 400-650 HP can this be done using the LSC ECU or should it be upgraded to the MAF system. The front suspension will be upgraded to a 4-6 drop DJM. The rear suspension has a narrowed 9" and 4 link with coil over setup in it now. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks

To get that kind of power, you're going to have to completely change the engine build, (stroke it, add big heads, intake, cam, etc) not just the ECU. You're not going to double the power by a factor of two the way it's built now.

I understand that. I want to know what ECU can be modified to support that kind of power and what harness to use. Which can this be done to a Speed density engine or a MAF and can a Speed density engine be upgraded to a MAF. For now I just want to get it drivable and install the new engine later using the ECU and harness that I start with. So which one is the best top start with.
Thanks
