96v6 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have a 96 V6 Auto. I've done an engine swap, stayed the V6 because I had never done an engine swap. I've drove her for about a year, she is my daily. I want to swap a 5.8 Efi out of an f150 probably a 96+ to get the roller setup. I'll use a an Aode transmission and have a shop put in a reverse manuel valve body. Now comes the questions 1.) Did any years of the Aode come with a speed sensor on the tranny vs on the diff 2.) Will a trucks wiring harness be sufficient or will be underwhelming 3.) Will a f150 axle fit under my car nice 4.) If I use a 95 gt k frame member how large of a hood Cowell do i need 5.) Are there any large issues I'm gonna run into Any info would be great cuz I'm not gonna start the build until I know everything. Thanks 96v6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96v6 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 So did 94-95 gts have the aode transmissions cuz i thought it was the 4r70w? My thoughts were a donor f150 but the speed sensor is on the diff. What am I gonna need suspension wise? I wanna get lowering springs but how much weight do they needed to be rated to?

410sn95 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Evil covered most of it already. As for cowl hood, It can all fit under a stock hood with the right parts and motor placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96v6 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I read that it won't fit under the stock hood unless you had a lowered k frame member, which I won't because I'll take mine from 94-95 gt. The 3 inch is what came on the 95 cobra r so I think that's what I'll do. Is Sr performance from american muscle a good brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the type of oil pan you have can play a roll in this as well. I did not have to lower the motor via mounts or k-frame. Moving the motor as far back as you can and intake manifold choice is key to fitting under a stock hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 i coulda have swore that you needed a mustang 8.8, and couldnt use a full explorer axle? maybe im wrong. but yea, mustang axles are plentiful as is anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96v6 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Okay...i need parts...like a k frame member either tubular or out of a 94/95 gt, a radiator that will fit ( not sure if a 94/95 radiator will work) and a wiring harness that will work. Also if anyone knows wether or not the aode transmissions have the speed sensor...any info and or links to parts would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
