Best Answer

If you have the donor vehicle it would make it a lot cheaper and easier. You will need just about everything from the old car. These two engines are completely different. Radiator, mounts, tranny, engine wire harness and sensors. Not to mention the intrument guages are probably different set-up. The fuel pumps are probably operating at different pressures also. The more you have of the old car the better. You will only need the engine and wiring harness. the 3.8 and 5.0 use the same flow fuel pump and the same transmission the radiator in the 5.0 may be larger just take the complete 5.0 with the harness sensors and computer you will have some connections to sort out but that should be all
