I am going to replace the tired 5.0 in my 95 GT, I have access to a couple motors, one is from an 81 and the other is from a 1990. Will any year 5.0 fit into the 95 body?

What makes you think your motor is tired and needs to be swapped out? And what has you thinking a motor from an 81 isnt as tired as your current motor? A TB swap on a stock intake is 100% useless. Throw the 3.73 gears in give the motor a compression and leakdown test before you jump into a motor swap unless your dropping in a stroker or mod swap as your short block might be fine.

Good point, I have 240k miles on my origional 5.0 and it still runs strong.
