fitting a 5.0

I got a EF fairmont inline 6. Am contemplating putting in a 5tr.

A few Q`s?

Will the gear box mate up?
Besides installing the motor, is the wiring harness completely different between the 2?
I know need a new control module.

Anything else involed I should know about?

thanx

Re: fitting a 5.0

dont need engineering for the BB as it is full chassis. But with the blower it will.

But even my 4by needs engineering. The govnmt knows how to make us spend our hard earned $$$$

In my state full chassis allow up to 400 cubes.. anything over unless a factory option is engineering .
