converting to 5.0

[1995holleyvert]

Could anyone tell me what all i would need or have to do if i where to convert a v6 to a 5.0

the best thing for you would be a parts car in all honesty...

Unfortuately for you the k-member will have to be changed. But you can pretty much follow the same theory as swapping a 5.0 for a 2.3 in the fox bodies. 92Coupe did a 5.0 swap in his coupe and did a great write-up on it. Just search and you will find it.

I dont think that the cross member on a V6 car is different from a 2.3/5.0 I know the early straight 6 member was different tho.

i agree with dedpedal i dont think the k memebr has to be changed out on a
v6 car it was just the straight 6 car engine

Oh...I could be wrong then... :dunno:

YOu will need a wiring harness from the firewall out for a V8, a V8 computer, an engine, etc, and maybe fuel lines, not sure on that one. I do know that it isn't that hard to swap in, the bellhousing for the V6 is even the same as a 5.0, so the T5 would work and all. I would look for a 94-5 5.0 with all the brackets and intake to make it easier, also get the air intake and mass air meter with it as well.
