i just picked up a 96 4dr auto - but the engine bay is empty
i have also aqquired a 302/ auto trans transfercase and full wiring harness from a written off 1994 f150. i am under the assumption if the following please correct me if im wrong:
1) i need to go tparts store and buy motor mounts for 96 ex 5.0
2)i need to go buy rad for 96 ex 5.0
3) i need to buy ex manifolds from a local wrecker that are from the 5.0 litre
as far as inigrating the wiring, i am an electrician so that should be straight forwards with two exceptions: if the donor truck has no abs, my 96 wont have abs and if the donor truck hasnt got Airbags, then when im done mine wont have airbags, (so i should take them out so they dont deploy at random)
any engine accesores ie water pump alt and ac comp should still fit off the f150 donor motor? or will i have to get explorer ones.
i have searched for threads on here and rangerstation to do with v8 swaps on gen 2 units but have not found any real usefull information
(and i know the fullsize tcase will be a $%# to install but its worth it)
thanks in advance for any feedback.
