For a 93, well, I like EFI, so I'd try a Mustang 93-95ish 5.0 setup. Plenty of kits for that.

Cost? Heh....try 10k and if you finish under that estimate--depends on your part selection for one thing--thank me later.

Lots of things figure into that cost. If I went the v8 route in my 94, I'd want 94-95 parts like the engine and harness and I will live with stock parts, so I would do better than my estimate of $10k.

Go with all aftermarket (performance crate 347, etc) and you'd get real close to blowing away said estimate.

Find 30 year old parts in a junkyard and you'd go in pretty cheaply.

96 Explorer!
It already has the oil filter relocator, short waterpump/timing cover, oilpan, headers to drop right in. Perfect fit. Eveything else is a nightmare.
