5.0lt swap, Suggestions needed ('93)
Well after blowing up my 2nd a4ld trans this weekend, I'm now looking at a 5.0/aod swap, been reading up in here untill my eyes crossed
What I need to figure out, what model 302 efi to shoehorn in =) from what i have read looks like a '92-'93 5.0 w/ mustang intake (pls suggest what might work better), what model/year accessories will give most clearence?
Trans.... ok been seeing AOD, AODW, 4R70W Core
whats what? and which should I look for?
What I'm working with~
'93 Sport w/ 2.5" duff lift and 2" body lift (well, thats going in this week right after I pull the moter/trans)
keeping stock t-case, and leave room for future atlas2 upgrade
What I want when I am done~
whole lot of highway use (I love road trips~1k miles+), mild trail, towing a trailer (around 1-2k lbs, but want up to be able to tow trailer around 4k)
Adapters~ A.A. kit, L&L, or James Duff...
heard nothing but good things about all of these anyone know pros/cons vs these kits/parts
like which motor mounts give the best placement ect
Project background planning...
Been looking on and off in to this swap for a while, I already understand that I'm going need to give myself a crash course in harness rewiring and going to need to fab a few parts also, I was going to get parts and get everything set up over the next 2-3 months, but my a4ld didnt want to wait so looks like I'm starting this sooner then I though
One of my main goals is with help from everyone on this board to get a list of 5.0 motors and AOD trannys together for anyone else planning this swap, document the hell out of this and find the best 5.0/aod combo for daily/highway/offroad use
