205bhp as standard IIRC, but the 302 windsor is a mega engine.

Will a T5 not line up? Otherwise the TKO500 has the gearleaver on a seperate bracket, IIRC.

the Mustang 5.0 manual gearbox was always a T5 same as a sierra cosworth, but i think a stronger version, get the gearbox off ebay.com and ship it over, it will be cheaper and easier than you think. make sure it has the 5.0 bellhousing and clutch fork/arm as well.

Thanks guys
...then i think it`will be a complete 5.0 EFI V8 engine and 5 speed G`Box package from a 90`s mustang
..i already started looking on e-bay.com lol
Is this the same engine and g`box used in the African Mk1 Sierra xr-8 ?

not sure if the xr8 was injection or carb, but the basic engine was the same, go for an earlier one with a carb and wiring is a lot easier, or get a later one and change the efi for a carb, if you can find a cobra mustang 5.0 and box it will have a little more power.
