Ive got a 2011 GT 5.0 manual car which of course has the gen 1 5.0. It’s a high mileage motor with bad chains etc so I’m looking to install a gen 2 engine that I have in a wrecked 2016 GT Pp1 manual transmission donor car.

Question is what is the easiest way of accomplishing this? I’ve heard of using the gen 1 wiring harness and pcm and changing out the intake cams so that everything will work with the gen 1 “control pac”. Is there also a way to do this where I’d utilize the gen 2 engine harness and pcm and somehow use the tune to make any necessary changes. I’d rather use all gen 2 stuff and have the better higher lift cams Ive read that it uses as well as the variable runner manifold set up. The gen 2 setup I have is FBO E85 and has a ported 18 mani w 47 # injectors. Also will I need to switch over the gen 2 fuel pump and lines etc to be e85 compatible?

Any input/insight appreciated. I did a coyote crate motor to new edge swap in 2015 so not totally new to this but just wanted to pick you guys brains on the easiest and best way to go about this. Thank you

You don't have to change the fuel rails un less you already have them you will need to change the injectors to at least LU47's, the fuel pumps might be the same though. I would contact a tuner and see ifbthe power packs will work

The engine I’m swapping in already has a ported 18 mani, LU47’s, 120 mm JLt, long tubes, MMR water pump pulley, catch cans, and I’ve got 93 and E85 tunes so a fairly decent bolt on set up. I wish there was a fairly simple way I could swap the whole bit over and use all the 2016 stuff but from what I’ve heard up until now it sounds like it’ll be a pain to do so. Hoping someone knows a way to use the gen 2 engine harness and pcm and have it work w the gen 1 body harness somehow. Hoping someone is a tech ninjas and can chime in
