89f150 4.9 to 5.0 swap
Hey guys.
I have a 89 f150 4.9 5 speed
Just pulled the 5.0 from a 1990 f150 with an auto.
I know I need to get a new flywheel and clutch for the 5.0 to work with the 4.9.
What else do I need from the parts truck to make the 5.0 run? Just the pcm? Or do I need the truck side harness under the hood?

You need the V8 frame towers and engine mounts, and while you could make the I6 rad work with the V8 with some custom hoses why not just use the v8 rad.. the ports are on the opposite sides compared to the I6.
What auto trans was in the '90? You need a 5.0 PCM for a manual or a non computer controlled auto which would be the AOD(trans code T) or C6(trans code K).

I got the whole truck for $400 and I'll make that back between parts and scrap for the rest of the truck so it didn't really cost me anything and it only had 185xxxkilometers on the truck. The only 5.8 I found near by was over 250xxx km wanted more money and a couple hours to go get

if you use the mustang brackets on the truck. you will need to convert everything all the way back to the timing cover. mustang water pump is reverse flow and has a shorter shaft compared to the truck so your pulleys will line up. you may be better off using the stock setup for the truck. if you insist on converting. look at a late 80s early 90s crown vic. it uses 2 serpentine belts. 1 on the L side for alt / PS pump and 1 on the R side for AC / pollution pump. you would just need the L bracket with Alt and PS pump / water pump / pulleys / fan. your timing cover will work with the crown vic pump.
