Default 4.6 to a 302/351
I have a 96 mustang with the 4.6 2v, 5 speed and I was thinking about swaping a carbed 302 or 351 into it. Was wondering what kind of problems I would run into by doing this, any help will be great. Also will everything bolt up?

Seems like a lot of time and effort, why not just find a 4V or a 99 or newer 2V?

Dropping a carbed pushrod is easy as pie, all u need is a 94-95 5.0 kframe or a k-frame from a 3.8. Motor drops right in, get matchin trans, run holley blue pump for fuel, done. Won't bolt up to your current k-frame though, and the t45 wont bolt to the pushrod.

i vote pi swap with long tubes and cams. you will enjoy the car much better this way. will have good power, fuel injection and easier to do over all

Going from a fi modular to a carbed push rod is like going from the radial tire back to the stone wheel.

Well I've already got a built 351 laying around that I pulled out of my old foxbody, but I've never messed with a 4.6 before so I was just curious to see how much work would be involved. Thanks everyone!

It will take a lot of work. Nothing will be used from your current setup. Search ZW99GT's previous threads he made. He swapped in a 408W into his 99 GT. Took a ton of work and a ton of money.
