Foxbody mustang 2.3 to 5.0 4cyl v8 swap how to step 1

- Beginning the swap on my 93 4 cylinder over to a stock 302 V8. one thing I said in the video that may have been misleading is the harness part, if your 4-cylinder car is a 1990 for example you want to use the same year V8 harness try not to mix them up.
Missed out a few things, was in a bit of a rush. you're going to have to add a vacuum canister inside the fender and I didn't go over the O2 sensor harness I will on my next video
Didnt see a connector for the low oil level sensor? Not sure if i just buy a plug for the oil pan or if I buy the sensor. 93 swap as well.
@@keezyknows8533 they usually always tend to leak, so I buy the plug for it and just don't run the sensor either way they never work
Great video detailing the project. I did a few of these years ago when these were everywhere and unmolested 2.3's were cheap and clean. Note on the power steering pump. Line can be reused, just a little long but you should rent the tool and swap the pump, keep the 2.3 pump with that rack. The ratio of the 2.3 rack is 20:1 and the v8 rack is 15:1. The valving on the pump gets washy when you start doing locks to locks driving. Do swap in the v8 rack when you can, much improved over the old man PS from the 2.3 -Also, the alternator harness, swap a v8 harness, tried to lengthen the wires once and had all kinds of charging issues and burned the wiring, granted I used the butt splice connectors which didn't handle the load well. Could extend if you get some salvage yard wiring and limit the splice, use soder joints not butt splice like I did.
Looking good! Glad you mentioned the kmember being the same, I’ve seen so many people say it’s different and change it when it’s the same damn thing. Just have to unbolt those 4cly mounts on it and your ready to go.
Dude seems extremely knowledgeable
Good thorough explanation bro, makes me feel comfortable to do the swap. Thanks 🤙🏼🤙🏼
91 has a brown plug by the booster just like the 92.5-93. The difference is 91 doesn’t have a fuel pump relay on the EFI harness like the 92.5-93. So it’s wired differently. It’s under the seat on the 91. 87-90 had the black/grey plugs by the booster.
Awesome video man very informative. More please
Right on! Thanks for taking the time and doing this!!! I am about tackle this project myself. I have a 90' LX 4cy auto.
How did things turn out?
Greatly appreciate it fam. My 7up got totaled and will be my donor car.
Thanks ! Looking forward to seeing more videos of your project!
You got the best videos brah giving free game
Great video keep up the good work
As always very good video I’ll be checking out the next one!
This is gold...
Very informative. Thank you!
i’ve got a 79 fox body and am planning on putting a 289 in it 😃
Legit knowledge
Awesome vids!! Thanks
In ready to see the pedal install . I been there before and it sucked.
Good info bro 👊 I have 82 gt t-top I would love to coyote swamp
I have a 1989 5.0 car that’s rotted but I have a 93 4 cyl car I’m just going to use every harness from the 5.0 car and make the 93 a non air bag.
Man u would be better off trying to find a 93 ECU harness in the o2 harness that's a lot of work unless you're good with wiring what ever u decide good luck man? I am ready to swap my 87 notch I already sourced the 89 harness stuff I needed my donor car is a 92 gt frame rails shot but everything else is there fuel lines rear t-5 trans pedals!!!
Yeeeeeeeee
I have a 87v8 I'm putting into a 814cyl. I think it's gonna be quite different from your swap :(
Nice...
Hey man how did u put the 8.8 rear in the 4cyl car did u unbolt the brake line from the onion over on the fire wall by the A/C in take that brake line that runs all the way down the passenger side I believe at 1 point it ends up in the trans tunnel!! Or do u have a easier way to do it I am going to be using super 10's I would like to use tail pipes I know the 4 cylinder union don't bolt up in the middle like the V8 cars it comes out to the right of the rear!! I hope u understand what I mean in might be able to give me a lil info on a different way to put the 8.8 in & run tail pipes instead of taking in drill all those dam rivets out in all the 1's for V8 fuel lines I think this is the shitys part of the whole job!! I mean I have a V8 car 92 GT for my parts car I have a 87 not I am swapping I already got the 89 harness everything I need o2 harness headlight harness this is my first swap just want to get shit right thanks for ur time any info will be appreciated but if not I understand that 2 probably have people bugging the shit out of u!!!!!
Awesome information!!! What about front coil springs..do those need to be changed since 8 cylinder is heavier than 4 cylinder?
Yes and no. The four-cylinder front springs have been a tried and true method by drag racers. They lower the car a bit and it will transfer weight even better.
My white Coyote Swap notch currently has four cylinder springs in the front. It rides perfect and if I make a few suspension adjustments it will lift the wheels at the track
@@pcpalan Thank you sir. I appreciate it.
Can you use the 4 cylinder harness for a 302 if you extend them?
Is there any way to tie in a 86 dash harness. My engine and harness is from a 93 but my car is a 86 4 cylinder
When I swap the fuel tank are the wires the same 4cyl to 8 cyl ?
Will a manual transmission Off a 91 4 CYLINDER Mustang fit a 91 mustang with the 5.0 ?? 🤟🏽
It will. The input shaft tip is smaller though. So use a Ranger pilot bearing. Not sure what year
So you dont have to remove the wiring inside the dash?? I have a 91 and planning the swap, will the 4 cylinder wiring work with the 5.0 gauge cluster??
Elvis Hernandez you don’t need to if you use the same year harness I believe
Wait so the whole harness besides the ones you disconnected was stock right you didn't switch it out?
Yes sir. Replaced the computer, harness from the computer that goes thru the firewall, and the headlight harness or extend ur 4 cyl one.. and obviously o2 sensor harness
Hey @strokercoupe how do I run the 4 cylinder fuel lines and brake lines?
jonathan hall use og v8 fuel lines and KEEP the 4cyl body brake lines. If u have a disc rear Use a 94 95 v6 mustang rear end brake line. Will bolt right up. If u have a v8 drum rear then use the one from the 4cyl. Just swap it from the 7.5 to the 8.8 make sense?
Are you changing the fuel lines? Doesn't the 4cyl run on the opposite side?
Yes. Like i said i forgot a few things ill address in next vid
I have a 89 notch 4cyl. I am converting it to a v8. I am using a 88 computer harness. You said to disconnect the orange connector near the fire wall. Now what does the white and black connectors plug into. Do I need to change the main harness?
Joe Gledhill The black and white connectors from your harness near the brake booster? Or the black and white connectors that are going to be in the middle of the firewall closer to the intake manifold
@@pcpalan The black and white connectors near the firewall. Not the salt and pepper shakers
Joe Gledhill If I follow correctly what you are saying then yes you will need to swap the dash harness, my email is the same as my UA-cam username @gmail.com send me some pictures
@@pcpalan will do thank you
What state are you in
I have a question, 1995 5.0 engine from a sn Mustang, fits on one fox body 90?
Yes it will. Long block is the same. It's really just the intake and accessories that are differant.
Part number for the ebay ujoint?
Steering Shaft U Joint Power 3/4"-36 Spline x 3/4" Round
Do you sell parts I’m looking for a T5
Ive got a T5 from a 94 5.0
@@arod9393 where you located?
