I think the 5.0 mounts perfectly well...if not you just need a 94-95 k-member.
but the question is...why would you want to put a 5.0 in?...the 4.6 is such a smoother and more efficent engine.

You might want to be careful with engine swaps. My brother has a v6 stang and it messed up and he wanted to put a v8 in it and he was told that he couldnt (due to emmisions and what not). remember that the newer cars have more electronics in it that need fixing also. If you dont have lot of time and money id put a 4.6 back into it.

2 cams on a '99 GT!?
Now, I'm quite sure they are SOHC.
Not EVERYONE can be lucky enough to have the DOHC Mystic Cobra status, Scott!![Wink](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Speaking of which, lately I have been seeing a '96 Mystic Cobra around my house. Makes me wonder if it's the one I remember seeing at 10 years old at the Dealership... might be!

Big cams, ported heads, high compression on a 5.0 Mod motor and your talking 420 to 500 hp
Try 500 hp with a big nasty cam, ported E7TE's and high compression in 5.0 windsor. Not gonna happen with out some chemical or pressurized help.
