Can anyone tell me if a 1991 LX Mustang with a 2.3 and an LX Mustang with a 5.0 have the same frame? Meaning, can a car that had a 2.3 handle a 5.0 motor?
Thanks,

the frame is the same but I think springs are different.

Frame is identical. You will need to change the motor mounts and add heavier springs to the front since Ford put in a lighter spring since the car only had to hold up a 4 cyl instead of the 302. You will also want to swap your 7.5" rear end for a 8.8" with limited slip. Also need to change the transmission.
