GOOD,FAST, CHEAP-----------YOU CAN ONLY GET 2 OUT OF 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 302 started life in the 1968, which at the time was a 289 with a slightly longer stroke and shorter rods (289 = 2.87in stroke and 5.155in rods, and 302 = 3.00in stroke and 5.088in rods)...the 302 block also have deeper cylinder skirts than the 260/289 blocks
The 5.0 roller is a piece all to itself, I'll use the '89 specs
-50.0 oz balance (instead of the old 28.0 oz balance from the 60s)
-hydraulic roller cam with roughly .444 lift
-SEFI (one injector per cylinder and a mass airflow sensor)
-factory shorty headers
-cast iron block and heads with 2 bolt mains
-forged rods and pistons
the further into the 90s you go the more complicated they get...some models come with GT-40 heads and intake while later ones come with GT-40P heads while others still use the old stock E7 heads. 1994 was the last year of the 5.0 in the Mustang...1995 forward was the use of the 4.6 modular motor.

1995 was the last year of the 5.0 bud. 96+ use 4.6 or 5.4 if you have a 2000 cobra R =)
