Default LSx conversion- Fox or SN95

What's easier or has more benefits to doing a LSx swap? Computer harness, clearance, etc....

Comparing a 94 Mustang 3.8 vs a 79 Mustang 5.0

Thanks

They are essentially the same car. '94 would probably be a little easier because the fuel system is already set up for EFI, but that's about it.

I see no good reason you couldn't fit the '79 with a used K from any '87-'93 2.3L 'stang. Not as light as a tubular, but far cheaper. '94 has 5 lug, which has more wheel choices, and 11" front rotors.
