Angry 1995 mustang engine swap help

I currently have a 95 mustang with the v6 and the head gaskets blew in it. So I will need to get heads and stuff but i dont want to so im looking into a v8 swap.

Does any one know what year v8's will fit into this mustang with out to many modifications???

DO NOT WANT TO DO SPLIT PORT SWAP WITH A NEWER V6 I WANT A V8

ANY HELP IS NEEDED!!!

THANKS

V8 swaps are not inexpensive at all, fix and sell. A 5.0 swap which is the simplest, requires the complete wiring harness, the EEC, CCRM, sensors, MAF, etc..it is a PITA.

One more thing, if the gaskets blew that doesnt mean you also need heads, replace the gaskets and have the heads checked.

Do you have a whole donor car or just the engine?

You are going to need engine harness and computer to start. It will bolt up to your tranny, but I would suggest installing a t-lock.......
