How hard is a 5.0 swap?

Title says most of it.

How hard is it to do a 5.0 swap and how much would it cost to do (if I already have an engine I can pull out of a late 80's 5.0 'stang)

research it , in the tech section, less wireing then the 4.0 swap. its not that bad from what i have heard. my budie has done 5 of them. james duff has alot of in fo that will help you out. good luck.

depends on how extreme will need front springs first 2 inch to fix camber and caster exhaust is the next big deal other than that its a joke 93 ranger 434 671 blower 600 shot gas we have done this a couple of times lmao

i have an easier time doing this swap then cooking dinner for my family.

generally in a 2wd you wont need springs. a washer or two and adjust the camber/caster a lil more aggressivly.

Well I tried the search option, but unfortunately... 5.0 isn't a 3 letter word.

You don't have to do anything with the springs, leave em be. Been 7 years since I did my swap and ain't touched the front alignment. Be more creative in the search words. If you can't do this, you don't need to tackle a swap.

But you can search within the 5.0 forum and omit that term..
