302 swap

I need help making a decision, so I figured you guys could help that have been here. In my car right now I have a 302 that was rebuilt around 5k miles ago. My plans were to modify that. However, I meet a guy who will sell me a roller cam 302 with 80k miles on it for $200. It's fuel injected, and...

Alright guys, I'm in the place that I know many people have been in while thinking of doing an engine swap. Do I go with the late model 302 or a 351w from a 94+ truck. Either engine I will do the same aftermarket parts most likely. A mild cam, Edelbrock RPM intake, aluminum heads (probably TW...

Hey guys, I've decided I'm going to build up a 302 block from a late model mustang. I'm most likely going to find the block on craigslist, and wanted to know how many miles on the engine should I look for. How many miles is too much? Also I just had new shorty Hedmen headers and exhaust put on...

I'm wanting to build a 5.0 V8 to go in my 1965 mustang. I really want to pull a 302 out of a 97 explorer because they have GT40P heads stock. My concern is weather or not i can slap a carbureted intake manifold on the thing and run it like its a classic engine. I've searched all over the...

In my quest to figure out how to fix my newly broken AOD, I found a C4 for sale. Just so happens, it came with a 351 windsor attached. I know I want to do a carb setup but my question is, will anything I have already purchased for the 302 work with the 351? GT40p heads for example? whats a...

Okay. It's not that I'm stupid. I just have no idea whats going on. I blew the engine in my '71 Mustang. I replaced the trashed 302 from 1971 with a 302 that came out of a 1990 Ford Econoline van. I trashed the fuel injection and smog stuff and just bolted all the stuff from my old engine to my...

Hello all. I am doing a swap on my 88 4cyl to a 302. I have read other places ppl talk about a v8 trans bolted to the 2.3 s and wonder if its true or not. Could I keep my current trans for the swap? And if so will the crossmember suffice or do I NEED to change that to. If I'm mislead please help...

Alright, I think I've decided From what I've gathered, the easiest and best swap for my 1978 Mustang II 2.3L 4 speed is to get 302 out of an early 90's Mustang GT? From what I've gathered, this will be a rather straight forward swap. Can someone that has done this tell me exactly what I need...

In my research i have found that the mustang II 302 had a 148 teeth flexplate at 28 oz. i have a 1990s 302 so i need a 50oz flexplate. will a 157 tooth, 50oz flexplate fit in the mustang II bellhousing? and what is the bolt pattern for the torque converter for the II? It measures out to be 9...
