Allright guys, this is my first time creating a thread but here goes:
I have an 05 mustang, it's the v6.
Now my question is, I know it'll be a massive pain in the ass, but what am I going to need to swap out my current engine for the 5.0?
I've got a site that'll ship me the crate engine but it says "Does not include vehicle harness, PCM, alternator or engine cover kit." but does come with "Manual transmission engine harness and flywheel."
So right off the bat there's a bit of an issue, my car is an automatic (I bought the thing when I was 17, give me a break).
Basically my question is, what do I need to replace/buy in order to make this happen? I know I'm going to need the new engine, a new transmition, and a tuner, but what else do I need to do so I can keep the mpg's I have now and double my hp with this engine swap?
