1993 mustang lx 2.3l to V6 SC

scroz stang · 08-19-2009

I dont know if this is the right place to put this, but here goes. I have a 93 mustang lx that I'm going to be fixing up real soon. My origianl plan was to get a 5.0 parts car and swap everything over to my 2.3. But recently I had the idea to swap a Thunderbird SC motor into my fox. How hard would this be to do? And what all would I need? Would it be worth doing? Its still just a thought. Your advise would be appreciated.

Props on being different! Idk how hard it would be, but in the end it would depend what your ultimate goal is for the car. In 6 months? in a year?

Try to have a complete parts car with the V6 SC engine as this would make the swap far easier.

different is what i was goin for, thanks man. i dont think i've seen a V6 SC fox before. if i decide to go for that, im thinkin it'll scoot pretty good .

and to b1lk1, havin a complete parts car would be a great idea

. i'm keeping my options open on what i want to do, just depends on my money situation

I am currently doing this very swap , only I am doing a non-CPU 1983 v6 carb car to a 4.2 V6 S/C stroker

so your fox will not be alone

had to extend the ECU harness 3 feet to live above my radio. the stock hole is too small to put ECU box in(in normal spot) got to love smelling solder and shrink tube
