Default 1993 Mustang list

i have a 1993 Mustang 2.3N/A that needs a tuneup and a paint job. But I also want to do an engine swap ro either a 5.0 or a 2.3 Turbo.
  • First, should i get the 2.3N/A tuneup then sell it for money for one of the other engines?
  • Second, should I go ahead and buy one of the other engines and get a tuneup on it w/o tuning the one i already have?
  • And which swap is harder the turbo 2.3 or the 5.0? And which one cud make the most hp?

5.0 should go in pretty easy.. If you want more HP for less $$ then definitely go with the 5.0 its so cheep to add HP to a 5.0

the only thing its heavyer and instead of just changing the pistons and the exaust manifold and adding a turbo (there is way more than what im typing) you would need to change the tranny for both engine for 5.0 computer for 5.0 rear axle for 5.0 and brakes for 5.0 and wiring harness for 5.0 swap.
