mustang motor swap

[KMA]

yes, yes, i know, the same question is asked by another person.

ok would it be easier to take a mustang 5.0 H.O. motor directly out of a mustang that it is one belt and stick it in the CV?

or would it be easier to put a carb on the stang motor with one belt and then stick it in the cv?

Going carb is dumb, less efficient, less driveability, less reliability. The difficult part is the one belt. A/C and alternator are on opposite sides, as well as the air inlet. Just take the HO out of the mustang it put the CV accessory setup on it, turn the intake around and do something about the EGR and throttle body.

If your goals are emissions compatibility and fuel efficiency, the keep the EFI. If your goals are street/strip and you want the lowest ET for the least amount of money, then carb is the ticket.

Its easiest to just use the brackets on your CV engine and bolt them to the HO motor. It will look stock, but won't run like stock. The water pump needs to change to a CV pump, and the pulleys and all from the CV swap over. Fuel rail from the CV, injectors from the HO. SLight mods to the throttle body and egr spacer and you're good to go;.
