Re: Engine Swap 3.0 to 5.0
You have -
Vic, Marquis, etc engines that are low performance OBD-I and have a long front end dress.
Mustang HO OBD-I and have a long front end dress.
1993 HO from a T-Bird has a better cam profile for performance and short front end dress. OBD-I <--- a friend of mine has one of these in a Fairmont and it's a lot of fun
1994/1995 Mustang good performance short front end dress. OBD-I
1996 Explorer OBD-II Good performance, GT40 heads, short front end dress
1997.5+ Explorer OBD-II Good performance, GT40P Heads, short front end dress
Ideally you want an OBD-I engine management system with a short front end dress. Using the longer front end dress is possible, but cooling is sure tough. Plenty of room width wise, but length wise is pretty limited.
