91/88 mustang reswap 6.0/T76
I built a 91 coupe with a 4.8L and was in the process of adding a turbo. I had the core support swapped and a few days later picked up another engine. So as you all know one thing leads to another and another and another... after picking up an 88 coupe in way better shape. I'm back at square one.
Before the core support
After getting her back I decided to pull the motor to paint the engine bay
I picked up a 302 turbo kit and some ls flanges
A few minutes with my sawzaw
I need to get my hands on a torch to make the ford ports round
Now on to the 88
Swap time
Pulled the gages out
Back on all 4's.. it took about 3.5hrs to get it swapped (thanks Tim for the help)
Mustang cross member modified for a turbo 350/T5 tranny mount
Here is a lifter from my 6.0L (I was told it had nothing wrong with it) It chewed the cam up pretty good.
All 8 cylinders looked about the same.
The motor and tranny are both getting a rebuild while I'm swapping parts back and forth from the 91 to 88
I bought paint to spray the engine bay and new caster camber plates

From test fitting everything in my 91 when it was still running it looked like it would fit with very little modifying. Other than the ls flange swap and maybe shortening the cross over I think It will fit just fine. I have 6.0 manifolds and all the piping just in case it doesnt. I'm off tomorrow so when I get up I'm going to a buddy's shop to work on the ls flanges. I'll post up picks tomorrow night
