I'd suggest staying away from the swap, you would need the whole harness and computer out of a 5.0

And that's JUST the beginning........

You'd be better office just selling your 4.6 car and buying a 5.0 car.

That'd be easier and less of a headache. ;D
Your sig says "confused pi swap or 4v"

That's easy: 4V

You'd need a K-member, of course the engine, computer, full harness, you would have to replumb your fuel lines to set up for a return style fuel system, chaange the bellhousing on your tranny(maybe, not 100% sure on that one)

the tranny would have to be a t5 since the bellhousing is for a modualr motor and you can't change it since it's one piece with the case..

Im doing it now but i have a wrecked 95 for the swap its not bad as long as you dont mind a little work im switching dash harness to im not sure if you have to but im did anyway and the fuel lines look the same and come out in the same place so i dont see why they would not work.And of course the k member to and you will need to swicth the hydroboost to a booster/masterclyinder setup.The bell houseing on my 3650 trans is detachable but the t-5 and 3650 bellhouseing are not interchangeable with each other so it wont bolt so you need a trans to.Theres a few more thangs to so it may be easier to sell yours and buy a 5.0 or find a wrecked car for the swap.
