November 21, 2013, 07:27:48 PM i have a 87 sport with a 5.0. i wanna swap it to a 357 i have sitting around. ive done a lil homework but im still confused on what i need to do this swap.main questions would be... what needs to be done to the 5.0 harness to run the 357?? im prob gonna do a carb set up on it so im assuming most of the harness wont be needed. second my car being a fully loaded sport has a full digital dash in (no needle gauges at all) will they still work or do i gotta put new ones in?what k member do i need or dose the stock one work and what motor mounts?i have a set of tri y long tube headers for it that are for fox body cars (mustang tbird and farmont) will the work with it having a aod trans?im leaving the aod trans in it for now but do i need a different converter for it?what belt setup do i need to get or dose the 5.0 one work?what intake should i get to keep it under the stock hood? or isnt that possible?what should be done about the fuel delivery in it being switched to carb? possibly do all new with a sump system?what kind of ignition system should be used?? and any other advice you guys can come up with will be appreciated thank you!!
