2000 Sport 5.0 Swap

[ExSport00]

So Im planning on doing a 5.0 swap on my Sport. Tired of the timing chain tensioner bs. Apparently it is do-able with the right 302. My dad being a senior master technician says i wont be able to fit the cleveland 351 5.0 because its too wide. But is there anything important i need to know about this swap?

I'm doing the swap on my '95 4.0 using a 5.0 from a '97 right now. You can see what I have had to do on my build thread. For me I'm going from OBDI to OBDII so I have had to do a lot of wiring.

Here's my thread. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325764

also do a search on this swap. there are now a few guys (bluka, and rjcoopersss396 that come to mind) that have either done this swap, or in the process of doing it.
