mustage swap questions
mustage swap questions I have been thinking about doing a 6.0L and th350 swap into a foxbody and was wondering how difficault it is on a scale of one to ten. also i was wondering if i needed to change any of the front suspension or if stock would work? How do you go about wireing do you use a mofified factory harness or what? and what about the radiator can iuse the stock mustange one or do i need something else? finally how does the fuel system workout in one of these swaps.
Of all the threads about Mustang swaps, I think you could find the answers to most of these questions by reading. 
As far as the level of skill required, what is a 1 to me might be a 10 to you, so its pretty hard to gauge. I think its about as easy as you're going to get when it comes to conversion cars. Everything nearly bolts right in.

another thing to note is that you can't use the ford 4.6 motor mounts and modify them a bit to work with the iron block ( on the alu. block there are 6 mounting holes that can be used , but on the iron block there are only 4and the ones that are missing are the ones you need). so your best bet is to use a conersion k member and motor mount conversion plates to run the old style motor mounts.

What about brakes is the stock booster in a 4cyc vacuum or hydro. i plan to run manual steering, and no ac so i figured i would only need to deal with the alternator as far as exceesories go or will i need the power steering pump to for the brakes.
