OK I'm not sure if any of yall have done a V6 to 5.0 conversion on an automatic foxbody, but I have.

Springs, shocks, and read end are not necessary. V6 mounts are different from 302 mounts. If you buy a set of motor mounts nowadays, you wont get pedestals with them, so a junkyard will set you right.

Long eared mounts = bad for racing

Other than the custom wiring for my full ignition system, I tied it right into 1 single wire from stock ignition and I was good to go.

C series is a good automatic for V8. I picked up my C4 for around 200 in solid condition.

Stock V6 rear end is absolute shit, weak, LSD, and will break from V8 torque, plain and simple.
Stock springs and struts are also rated for different loads, so OEM 5.0 or aftermarket spring/struts are way better.

Just to put the bullshit aside. If you still have any questions, just PM me.


Edit: man screw the EFI V6, alot of work, custom mounts, not worth the effort. carbed 5.0 is the best bang for your buck. 351 is supposed to require custom mounts and special headers.
