engine swap

Snakebite427 · 10-18-2001, 11:45 AM

Well, I am not too sure where I should be posting this. And, since I have a 3.8L I suppose that this would be the best spot. Feel free to move it to the correct forum if I am wrong. I had plans to do bolt ons to my V6, but have decided my money would be better spent doing an engine swap. The engine I speak of would be a 302 w/ 320 hp(quite a bit faster than my 190hp I have now!) I will be purchasing the fuel injector kit needed for the swap, from the place I am getting the engine from(about 2 years from now, bleh). I wonder what else I will have to change, I know engine mount brackets will be changed. I am not sure what else, a new tranny??? If so, which one? What else would I need to do to make the engine fit, and work?

Tranny is the same you need different fly wheel and clutch, pressure plate throwout bearing. engine mounts like you said. I have a complete right up about the swap. If you email me at _US_MALE@yahoo.com i can find it and scan it and send it too you if you want it. it is written by 5.0 mustangs.

Thanks. I tried to e-mail you but got a return from sender. My e-mail is probably screwy, or I am. Anyway, you can e-mail it to me at Snakebite427@aol.com.
