Alright as of right now i have a v6 232 motor in my mustang i found a v8 5.0 mustang motor in the junkyard for 400 dollars, im gonna buy the rebuild kit to rebuild it before i put it in. but heres the question i know when you swap motors i'm gonna need to do alot of work to my v6 mustang body. i'm gonna have to put a new clutch in, new computer and probably a new bell housing. Now what about new suspension? Is there anything you guys refer to do or put into the new 5.0 such as camshafts or prefered parts? i wanna make the motor badass right from the start.

Go with the Trick Flow kit heads cam and intake, youll be happy itll get you 350horses. they sell about 2300 from summit. good price. be careful on goin badass from stock, i know were your coming from with wanting to haul *** but dont do to much at one time, thats when you start to have problems that are hard to chase down. the H/C/I swap is the best thing to start with. and while youve got the motor apart put a main girdle on, ive found that the canton fits the best out of the ones ive tried. stay clear from prw girdle at all costs.
