it will fit, but it's not worth doing, you'd have to change the entire drivetrain and suspension to support it, the cost and effort would be very high, if you want a V8 pushrod Stang, you'll need a 94/95 or earlier to start with, for me the sky is the limit, that's why a stroker 351/408 is going into my 95 GT...can't wait to get that badboy on the road...should have 400rwhp easy.

if you want to do something like that, save your money and buy a project car. 94-98 are the obvious targets due to price and possibilities. 94 or 95 for a motor swap and 96-98 if you want to mod it. the base engine for the 96-98 is slower than syrup but a couple grand in the bay gives you a nice track car.
