Spoke with my Fox body friend. Here is what he had to say.
If you already have a 5.0 engine your trying to use, you would be better off buying a fox body with a blown 5.0 for cheap and dropping your engine into that car.
To swap a 5.0 into a 4 cyl. fox body car would nickel and dime you to death. You would just for starters need to do the following:
Swap computer and wiring harness. entire front suspension due to weight, rear end from 7.5 open to the 8.8, new driveshaft, tranny crossmember to a dual hump as the 5.0 is dual exhaust, tranny bell housing, clutch assembly, radiator and thats just off the top of his head. Steve said that more issues would manifest themselves as the swap progresses.
