Hello to everyone I've just become a new member and I'm thinking of purchasing a 91 302 Roller Short Block for $300. It's bored .030 to make it a 306 with 9.5:1 compression. It has new pistons, double roller chain connected to a e303 roller cam with hydraulic lifters. If I purchase I plan on installing Edelbrock Performer Heads, Dual Plane Intake and Carb along with headers.

I will be dropping it into a 68 coupe and installing a t5 transmission.

My first question is: What do I need to finish the engine. is the 91 302 block similar to the vintage blocks and what direction do I need to take to

1. Does the oil pan need changed out from the newer to the older (plug the oil hole)
2. What motor mounts work?
3. What Timing Chain Cover?
4. What water pump?
5. What Pulleys (No AC)
6. What starter, alternator, distributor
7. What Fuel Pump?

My second question is the T5 transmission
1. What flywheel, clutch kit, and bellhousing is needed.
2. The 68 originally came with a 289 2v 3-speed 8" rear. Will the original clutch setup work? (Equalizer bar, fork etc.)
3. What is needed for the driveshaft?

Hopefully someone can give me the steps to take to convert this engine and tranny for my 68 stang.
Thanks

Did you ever get a reply to this? I just bought a 68 Coupe and am searching for an engine/tranny combo to put in it. I kinda want to put a 302 in it instead of the inline 6 cyliner engine it came with.
