People talk about putting a mustang motor in a truck as if it's a good thing - some special upgrade.
It's basically the same motor but the cam isn't designed for the low end torque range that a truck needs, so it ends up being a dog off the line or climbing hills.
That said, it'll work. The best idea would be to find a 95 donor you can park beside so you can see where everything goes.
