[500hptoyotaecho]

hey my name is bobby . im 12 years old. my parents are away on vacation and since im getting the 94 caravan when i turn 16 i want to hook it up. i bought a 5.0 liter mustang engine from a friend who found it in his dad's garage. he's 16 and helping me put the engine in our caravan. he doens't know much about cars as me though.
question is how long do u think this will take. what problems might i run into. i have to finish this soon b4 they get home.
thanks

You have a little machining to do with the motor mounts, but in general it's a pretty common, straight-forward swap.

As a great coincidence, the injectors are almost all the same, and believe it or not, the caravan ECU will run the 5.0

It will only run on 6 cylinders though, but if you don't have the 5.0 ECU, that will have to do.

If you've ever installed an aftermarket CD player, that's about all the wiring harness issues you'll do.

Make sure you post some dyno results when this beast is finished. I can't wait

Since that will be a fast swap, have you considered a body kit?
My uncle has a nice custom kit for his van, i can get the brand if your interested.
