I have a 98 gt, but I was wondering if I could build a 302 block(5.0) and put it in my 98 stang? I know any thing is possible but what would be the easyest way to do all this.(what year 5.0 engine do I need or do I need to buy a brand new 5.0 block?)
-thanks

 

any 5.0 engine should work. but you will need the k-member out of a 94-95 gt. and allllllll of the wiring. plus a t-5 trans.

 

well depending on the power you want you man want to go with a sportsman block. the stock block will crack rite in half close to 450-500 horses. your gonna need the 94-95 wiring harness, k-member ( id go aftermarket but could be found at a junkyard), and ecu, depending on the tranny you already have youll need either a bellhousing or most likely a new transmission.

 

I was going to build it. do everything to it... maybe go for 600hp, if possible.

 

yea your definitly gonna want an aftermarket block, maybe the new boss block if you got the cash.

 

are there any good companies I could buy the 302 block from? where would you guys suggest.
all I would want is the block, i can pick up the other internal parts at other places.

 

world man o war block, fords new boss block, dart. if you do a google search or maybe even ebay if you get a brand new one you will find a few options.

 

I like Dart, and just buy an aftermarket k member, like MM or something

 

alright, thanks guys

 

I'm proud of the setup I have...but nothing beats the sound of a built pushrod motor dude.....my dads old bronco with a 351 sounded more badass than my 4.6 did ....

good luck! and get some soundclips up as soon as you do it!
