It's not a question of bolting on.
In those years the transmissions were weaker, and the torque is going to damage the tranny eventually, especially with it being 12 years old.
If you're going to swap in a 5.0L, you're also going to have to change your computer, wiring harnesses, and instrument cluster, your rear axle, all shocks and springs, and your braking system.
Unless you're putting together a $12,000 engine combination, for a high dollar competitor, you'd be better off dropping in a modded six.
That said, building a competition car, a used six is a better foundation than a used eight. But for a regularly driven street car - mod the six.

thank you for your advice see i have the wire harness and 5.0 motor plus a v6 mustang 1995 so the shocks and stuff has to be changed to?i thought that they would work i guess i was wrong .I heard i don't know if it is true that there is a switch behind the cluster that if you switch to a 5 liter you switch this button i listen to alot of people that think they know but really don't know s**t if you know what i mean.thanks again ~Tami~
Will A Stock V6 Tranny From A 1995 Fit Onto The Back Of A 95 302 Motor?
Hi again I don't want to repeat the same question again but basicly all i want to know is will a stock v6 tranny out of a 1995 fit onto the back of a 95 302 motor?(will the input shaft fit or does it have to be moded and is the bell housing adaptable) because in 87-93 all you hade to do to put a 4 cyl onto a v8 was add a pilot bering at the end of the input shaft can you still do that in a 95?

Will a v6 tranny bolt onto my 5 liter engine both are out of a 95?
je sus christ, no one can answer her original question? YES your V6 trans will bolt up to the 5.0. just use the same bellhousing with the same year trans, as the 94-95s had a longer inputshaft (compared to the fox trans) and bellhousing so to move the shifter back. if you are not dealing with a fox car and just sn95 v6 to sn95 V8 swap then i think you will be fine straight across.

The swap can be done fairly easy... The v6 T5's aren't any weaker than the V8 versions, so you will be okay there. The 3.8 shares the same bell and input shaft as the 5.0, so it is a direct bolt on provided you use the v6 bell, as lxcarlo mentioned.
You wil need the comp, harness, and accesories from the fox as well...
I wouldn't worry about the suspension and brakes too much... Even the v6 stuff is better than the fox cars... Those can be updated later on if you wish.
The rear end is still the peg-legged 7.5 in the v6, so seriously consider swapping in an 8.8. You can use one from a fox, provided u swap in the axels, and brakes from the v6 7.5.
If that's not doable at the moment, don't worry, the 7.5 will live behind a stock 5.0.

ok, waitaminnit.
What's going into where?
5.0L into a v6 chassis or v6 tranny into a 5.0L chassis?

no, they didn't get the same spec tranny until 2001 when the IMRC addition bumped 3.8L torque numbers to 245 ft/lbs. The v6 tranny has weaker/lighter gears.
