yea it will work, but not sufficiently. look in beau gibbs for some motor mounts (any fox 5.0), and try the junkyard for the clutch too.

The 5.0L and 2.3L radoators are the same. It may be a good idea to take this opportunity to upgrade. I got a nice 3-core unit from O'Reilly for under $200.

2.3 has the same raditor as the 5.0 so yes it will work. I understand your on a budget but don't be putting No old style used motor mounts on it. I beleive all parts stores now carry the vert style mounts. Oh and I don't know of any 5spd mustang that hasn't had the crap beat out of it so why would you go used there too???? Just my 2 cents.
