1994 Mustang Gt Swap Ok ok, here we go. I am looking to swap an ls based motor into my stang. I have a friend that has a factory 4.6l k-member I am going to use. I also have another friend who has 4.6l mounts adapted for an LS1. My question(s): Can I use these motor mounts w/ a 5.3l truck motor? Will the truck accessory belt stuff from a 5.3l clear everything in the mustang?
Any info MUCH appreciated. I have a ton of threads I have searched over and over, and its just hard to gather info sometimes. Thank you!

I think this is a cool swap, and am kinda surprised there isn't more ready info on it, double cheap someone hasn't published a book on this, there will be great tips in a complete book if there is one, plus it would save a ton of time, money and headache, good luck and be sure to post pics throughout the build.

The adapter wasn't a big deal it just bolts between the mount and block to bolt the back hole to. I am using a 5.3 because it was cheap, but if you could find a good ls1 it would be a better way to go.

Yea, I understand the adapter isn't that big of a deal, but I think I'm going to just go LS1 at this point. On another note, I got the blown 5.0 and trans outta the car tonight!

I have a 97 that I want to do this swap too myself and I have several questions but the information is kinda hard to find on here. Do you have to run an automatic tranny or can you adapt a LS based t56 to a sn95 ? 2 more questions guages and wiring harness any simple tricks to solve these problems ?

Any one care to comment on if the swap would be just as easy or harder using a 94/95 v6 mustang to start with? I know I'd need to swap the rear end, but just for engine/tranny/wiring purposes (or anything else I might be forgetting)? Figure since I don't have a car yet, why not go inexpensive yet clean shell.

Im picking up a clean 95v6 with a blown motor from a friend of a friend for $200 bucks. I also got a 5.3 with a carbed intake already heads and all for $300. Now I need front assesories and MSD 2010 box. As soon as I pick up the car and get my townhome ill post pics and will need some help figuring this chit out.
