need help with possible windsor swap

gon4x4n · 02-05-2001, 11:13 AM

I'm still weighing whether just to order a 331 and use all my existing parts or buy a 393 0r 408.

I guess what i'm wondering is in your experiences how hard is it to sell like new 302 components? For example I have a Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake and 36lb Ford Motorsport injectors. All thes componants probably have less than 50 hours on them.

The upper intake is polished to a shine that matches a polished Vortech S/C and discharge tube.

What do you guys think-- thanks

suck it up and go with the 393 or 408...just my two cents.

It shouldn't be too difficult to sell those items. I say that, because I would be interested in the intake. Just start putting a price on them and see what happens.

i am doing a 351 windsor swap now. all of the stuff i had on my 302 sold in about 4 days after i posted them on here and corral.
the engine is not that easy without some help so if you have some buddies have them come over and do a swap...also if you get long tubes be careful what kinds you buy. the macs i got sucked and had to take them back and buy some bbk's...if you are looking for what u need to do a swap, you can find the info at www.alternativeauto.com look in the waterbox archives..they have a complete list of everything u need to change to a windsor engine..

good luck
