swap a 5.0 where a 3.8 v6 was

hello, i am looking to buy a 95 mustang with a v6 (5spd) in it so then i could swap it out for a v8 (5.0). (for insurance purposes). so i was wondering if the transmission is the same for the v6 and the v8 and what would i need to complete the swap and what cost am i looking at.

I just posted a thread on exactly what parts you'll need. Happy reading.

Insurance policy for a V6 + V8 engine swap after the fact = Insurance fraud, not purposes :biggrin:
