Default Any one swapped a 98 mustang v6 to LQ4?

I have a 98 mustang convertible that my daughter wants as her first car to drive to school. I have an LS1 and a LQ4 in the garage. Has anyone done this swap and how much work am I looking at?

Default 98 mustang ls swap

Its really pretty straight forward and there is a bunch of Fox conversions on this site. I did mine using an AJE K-member and Kooks headers, Speartech reworked my harness, been running it for about 3 years now, nary a problem! >

So Speartech would be the way to go on the harness. Will it being a convertible add any headache or are they all pretty much the same? What kind of motormounts and trans mount did you have to use?

What up Carlos! The Mustang was free, its my work car right now. Putting an LS in it is the only way I can get her to drive something I can work on and make fun for her to drive. I'm just trying to gather parts an intelligence right now to make it as painless and smooth as possible when it comes to crunch time.
