Hey Ladies and Gent's. New here and I apologize if this is a repeated thread. I have a '98 Mustang gt, 4.6L 5speed manual. I just spun a bearing in the thing and want to know if you can succesfully swap a carburated 302 into this car without too much trouble (fabricating motor mounts, changing transmissions etc...). I expect a few difficulties but I'm not looking to spend 3 months on the change. This is my daily driver, and I don't really care for the 4.6L. I say daily driver I have a work truck so this is really just a grocery getter but I still drive it almost every day just to have some fun. Any help, ideas, or knowledge on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Quickshift_02GT

Just kinda curious really, but why dont you like the 4.6?

It's not really the 4.6L so much. I just hate computerized motors in general. More expensive to work on.

well, it would not be to smart to put a non EFI 5.4 in a 98 GT. it would be a lot of work, and worthless. just buy a 94-95 mustang. a EFI will make more power and better fuel economy. you will need to buy a T-5 trany . you T-45 trany wont work. the motor mounter are Diffrent and the K-member is probable diffrent im not sure.

If having a 5.0 is something else you were looking for, you could always just get a D.S.S. 5.0 modular stroker kit. You may need to replace all that stuff anyway with the spun bearing.

This is if you want a cheaper alternative to what you mentioned.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm just gonna buy a rebuilt long block so I can have it running again and sell the thing. Thanks again.
