Hey guys,
I know this is probably a gay question but I need to know the correct answer...I was wondering if any ford 5.0 engine would work as a direct bolt in to my 90 stang...I am looking to rebuild one just for fun but at the completion I want to be able to use it if I want or find a stang I could put it in, etc...Lincoln engines seem pretty plentiful but mustangs are hard to find around here...Here is a perfect example:

Even though it is a 5.0 ford I notice that the intake is backwards on this...Can that just be changed, does the motor mounts line up????...Anything else have to be changed?????...What about a Ford F-150 compared to this Lincoln????....Are horsepower/torque ratings the same...meaning do they use the same heads or what????...Can someone please tell me if these engines will work/are the same as are 5.0's in our stangs...I know they are the same block and displacement and stuff but what about building one from a lincoln or f-150 to use in a mustang????...Thanks for any help with this!
