1996 f150 engine swap
Hello everyone, I'm new to this and am not sure if I am posting my questions in the right place. If not, please help me out and point me in the right direction. I own a 1996 F150 standard cab 2wd truck with a 5.0
in it. I also have in my possesion a 1986 302 HO ford long block engine in my shop that was supposed to go in a mustang project. Well that idea got canceled and the mustang is gone. Is it possible to put this engine in my 96 using all the stuff on my 5.0 including intake, computer,distributor and all other accessories. The firing order is supposed to be that of a 351w on the 302HO which leads me to believe I will probably have to change computers. Please let me know if I'm wrong about this. Also will my 5.0 upper and lower intake bolt up to this 302HO, will all the sensors and wiring harness work? Is it worth it all? I know this is a lot of questions for a newbee and I am sorry for such a long first post. I've done a lot of research on the web but can't find the right answers to these questions. Thanks a lot.
