- '00 XLS
I'm planning to swap a 5.0 into my '00 XLS. I was originally going to buy a rolled over donor vehicle to have all of the parts I needed. I haven't had much luck locating a suitable donor (ebay, ridesafely etc...). I started wondering exactly what parts I'm going to need and if it would be easier to just buy everything seperately. I know I'll need the following major components:
Engine
Tranny
Exhaust
Mounts
Engine harness
ECU
I'm not sure about the following:
Transfer Case (Can I keep my current T-case instead of switching to AWD?)
Radiator
guage cluster
driveshafts
What else do I need from the donor vehicle?
I searched for hours and never really found a comprehensive guide to necessary swap parts. I want to make it look like the 5.0 was installed by the factory.
Thanks for any help.
