5.0 swap help
So i have a 93 f150 that im swapping a 5.0 into after my 4.9 blew. I have the wiring harness and the flywheel from a 93 5.0, and the engine is from an 88 f150 5.0 that i have as a donor truck. Some other parts ive obtained are: HO cam out of a 99 explorer, along with the matching lifters and pushrods, and some crane cams 1.7 roller rockers. Im gonna run the stock speed density setup from the 93, so will this work, and if so, what else do i need for this to work?

I’m not sure. Have you confirmed that the ‘88 block is already drilled and tapped for the spider bolts?

What transmission is in BOTH trucks? The AOD uses a different flexplate than the E4OD I believe.

That is an F4TE roller cam not a HO cam.. but it's better than what's in an early truck motor.

What about the spider retainer and dogbones for the roller lifters?

You will need a PCM for a 5.0 and whatever trans the '93 has.

The 93 is a manual, so the m5odr2.

Trans is a manual trans, so theres no worries there. The donor truck has the pcm.
