speed trans that I want to put into an 04 mustang that is v6

So you took an older carb 5.0 engine and put it into your 88 Foxbody? and now you want to put it into your 2004? You will need to replace the K member in the 04 so the 5.0 will fitted bolt in the engine bay. You can get one from a 1994 to 1996 Mustang GT. Then you will need to transfer the engine, trans, driveshaft and rear end. ECM and wiring harnesses and other custom work that I can't describe here. I would upgrade the brakes too. Far too much work and money if you ask me. Just fix up the 88 or sell the 04 and 88 so you can buy another newer GT.
I think you will have a problem with this swap. The 2004 Stang is not a Fox body car. I doubt anything will bolt up. If you ever get it to work it will be illegal to drive.
