If you have a 5.0 already,just do the H.O upgrade (cam,headers,intake),if you have a 3.8,and want to swap,you can buy a used 5.0 from anything for cheap and build it up for minimal cost.Ebay always has H.O engines on there for bidding.Good luck.

Consider something like a Jasper motor? Yeah, they aren't as cheap as a good used replacement but it is all reconditioned and what not and has a warrenty. Plus they can do performance mods to your specs.

I go with a reputable local machiene shop over Jasper. Most of the time you'll get a better quality product.

there's a junk yard here in utah that has a 5.0 HO in a 91 cougar LS. obviously not original. i could pull all the parts you want and ship them to you if you want. or the whole motor. obviously very pricy.
It's always fun until someone loses an eye. then it's fun ya can't see.

5.0 HO was an option in 91-93 Cougars, regardless of LS or XR7.  LS and XR7 were basically trim levels.

Nope.  91-93 had an optional 5.0 HO.  94-97 had no 5.0.  They ran with an optional SOHC 4.6.
