A mustang 5.0 will bolt right in place of the truck 5.0 with no modifications. Use the truck intake manifold, throttle body, exhaust manifolds, wiring and sensors on the mustang engine. The only difference is that the mustang engine does not have a boss for the knock sensor, so you'll either have to tie it up out of the way or figure out a way to mount it to the engine. Search the forums for this topic, there's a lot of information out there.
