i have friend thats selling his 88 4cyl for $200, its in great shape for year. Do i have to change any/all engine mounts, computer, transmission, rear end, etc, to swap in a 5.0? Thx! By the way, it has a stock 5 speed in it.

you have to change:

mounts
rad.
computer
tranny
driveshaft
rear-end
shocks
springs
pulleys (if you do not have the right ones)

thoughs are a must just to get it to drive.. then you need:

brakes
alt.
prolly a new battery

and possibly a few somethings that i over looked. this was done off the top of my head with little thought, just to give you an idea.

The torque rating of a 4cyl T5 is 240. It won't last. Rerun has a good list.
