Biggest differince is that the mustang used an electric cooling fan and the t-bird had a belt driven fan. Most of the stuff on the 94/95 mustang is the same as 91-93 T-bird with 5.0. But i would rather be as educated as possible about doing this before i go and start buying things. I know you all will have your opinions about this, and i ask that you keep in mind that it will be months maybe a year or two down the road before this happens. When all is said and done, id like it to look as if a 94 thunderbird came from the factory with a 5.0. I like things to be powerful, and as close to stock as possible. Would a 5.0 from an earlier bird be better than a 5.0 from a 94-95 mustang? would the M5R2 mate to a 5.0? what would be needed as far as electrical (harness, computer, sensors, etc), what kind or engine mounts would be needed? now keep in mind that i would eventually upgrade the 5.0 much later on, im just really concerned about the fit and functionality of the swap. So i was curious as to what would be the easiest way to go about a 5.0 swap into a 94 t-bird SC. I also am not a huge fan of overhead cam engines unless they are from a 4 banger.But i still like them.

The aftermarket is bigger with the 5.0 than with the 4.6 SOHC, and the 4.6 DOHC from a mark or cobra or 5.4 SOHC lightning would not really be cost effective. (Arguing this is for another day ) So i figured that a 5.0 would be the most reliable, easily modified engine to install. The V6 SC isnt exactly the most reliable engine, or the most powerful. I was thinking way down the line, when ive actually got the kind of money needed for this, that i would do an engine swap to my 94 SC if i still have it.
