Does anyone know if this swap is do-able? What will I have to do to make it work? Thanks James

not really a thing to do.. it will fit... but a good 302 or 351w will make the power for cheeper...

since it is a fox body even a 460 will fit...

they are very light... and have great 10 mph bumpers...

does it have the 2.3..?? or the 200 -6...

this is probably better posted over at mustangandfords.com

you can even put a 2.3L intercooled turbo coupe motor right in...

clutch pedals and stuff from 79 /93 or so  mustangs... if you go stickshift...

if you do plan on going 400... you need a 351m, 400m 429, 460 transmission as that is the belhousing  pattern...   hr or cc did a build up on the 400m 351m ford motors just a little while ago...

the fox bodys use dual sump oil pans...  as the pump is up front and a long pickup to the sump in the rear... moroso makes one...

oh. yea... you can make it handle better by finding sway bars off 83 up tirds...   they are also fox bodys...  and had up to 1-5/16 diameter front bars... .. and 16 inch rims off other fox bodys will also help... 235/60-16.....
