A guy I know works in a garage doing basically maintenance and inspections. The boss' nephew has a '94 V6 5-speed that he's decided needs a 5.0, and the boss has contracted him and a few others to do the swap.
He's ordering the parts from Mustang Parts Specialties and it seems as though everything there is in order. He's getting the engine, bellhousing, and all of the wiring and computer related things, as well as a new radiator and the air intake box/hose/etc, and exhaust complete with the hangers.
Is there anything to be looking out for while doing this swap? Will the transmission work with the V8? What other kinds of considerations are there (beyond suspension) to be careful of? Will the stock fuel pump put out enough to power the bigger engine or should that be upgraded? Will the existing fuel lines work or will they need to be modified?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I know Tim has a '97 5.0 car.. if you have any words of wisdom, Tim, let me know.
Thanks,
JS
