mustang 5.0H.O. into 92 5.0 F-150
What do I need to know before I purchase? Year of motor? I forgot to ask my brother in law... more when I get back to him...He says he thinks 91 might be 92.

Well the trucks have a different firing order than the mustang engines had. However the mustang 5.0 makes a bit more power than the truck engine. It will still work though. Me and a friend have swapped several into 150's and they run just fine. Just don't use the truck firing order when u put the plug wires on and youll be fine. Any model 5.0 engine from 86 to 95 should suit u fine. Or better yet get an Explorer 5.0 they have even more power

As far as the Explorer engines, they have iron gt40 heads on them as well as a gt40 intake. They are a very common swap for Mustangs. They have more torque than the truck or mustang engines, and a bit more HP. It's not by much but u would see a huge diff between the truck 5.0 and the explorer's 5.0
