hi i was wondering what do u need to install to install a v8 into a v6 mustang like do u need subframe connectors k member or anything or can u just install it

[mustangmadman33]

im not for sure but im pretty sure you will need a diffrent k member or atleast new motor mounts

Actually the motor mounts and k-member should be fine to use. Yes, he would need to swap them out if it were a 96+ V6 but it is not so it should not matter. The 94-95 V6 is much easier to swap the 5.0 into than it is to swap into the 96+ V6's so it should not be too hard. I believe that their are people on this forum who have done the swap. I know their are on other forums if not here.

I am usually the first person to say skip the V8 swap, but for the 95 and older cars it makes alot of sense since it is not nearly as hard doing a 5.0L swap and the results are quite satisfying considering the huge performance gains over the older V6 engines.

[cmaurer1]

True story on that. Swapping in the 5.0L and doing the GT40 swap with a cam is good for some decent power and would be cheaper to make 280hp including the 5.0L swap than it would be to get the single-port their. Well, potentially cheaper at any rate. lol
