find a complete 5.0 explorer motor and leave it alone...more than enough power to be fun (and different) in a classic Mustang. The other option is a complete 5.0 HO 87-93 Mustang motor but they lack the GT40 heads and intake of the explorer motors. the HO & explorer also use a different firing order than the truck and non-HO 302's so getting one from a truck or lincoln or crown vic defeats your purpose unless you wanna tear down and rebuild.
