Question engine swap, yes or no?

i have a 93 2.3L mustang and its good on gas but a little slow. i want to put a 5.0L in it from a 1987 mustang. the 1987 would be a parts car becaus ei did a lot of body work to the 93 and i like its hatch over the convertible (it cost 900 dollars for the 1987 btw). should i do it, is it worth it?

if your looking for an easy swap then do the 2.3t swap you wont have to change the wiring harness just have to change from a VAM to a MAP sensor. and you'll get better gas mileage and the same amount of power as a 5.0
