i have a quick question for any one using the grannys kit(cradle and rad) what did you use for accessories( water pump and alternator?) mine is way to close and cant find a 94-95 5.0l mustang to measure the accessories length. some help on this is much needed. thanks guys

 

Try the Explorer V8. It also uses the short water pump & accessories.

 

thanks, i have been trying to get a hold of granny but i get a delivery failure notice when i email them. i have tryed several accounts of mine to no luck and i am still short parts i have paid for. what should i do?

 

i would just call 'em thats usually what i did and i always got good service

 

I have a 84 gs roller I was thinking about putting a chevy v8 in. I wonder if its as easy as some say it is? Auto or 5spd?

 

well i got a hold of grannys and my parts are in the mailso that is good. calling was by far the fastest way to get a hold of them. thanks guys. so far the swap hasent been hard but i have still have to wire it up and sort out the accessory and fan clearence and i think that this will be the hardest part of the swap. i will keep up on the updates once i have done more. thanks rx347 for another option i didnt know about.

 

A little more about the Explorer V8. Rear sump oil pan, Cobra style GT40 upper & lower intakes, 65mm Throttle body, engine oil cooler, GT40 heads (mid 1990s) GT40P heads to 2002. Great engine for about $500 at the salvage yard. Good luck with your project.

 

i am aware of the sweet junk yard explorer parts but am more worryed about the clearence i have now, once that is sorted out i will wire the motor up and drive while i giggle like a school girl. thanks again
