Default 1988 LX 5.0 swap question

what do i need to change on a 88 LX to put in a 5.0 4bbl?
the LX is 2.3 5spd.
is it basicly just motor mounts and radiator because if I'm thinkin correct the trans will work with a 5.0 I just need to change the pilot bearing. thanx AL

U will need the double hump trans cross member for the duel exhaust. A lot of patience and time, every swap is different.

Are you sticking with the 2.3L's 5sp? Im not sure, but i believe that transmission is different spec. then the 5.0 5sp. You might want to check on that before dumping too much power thru it.
