This is what I am getting. Not wasting any time or money on my current stock motor which has 134k miles on it.

Has anyone ever installed a new motor before on their Fox body? How hard would you say it is to do something like this. What else can I expect to be buying to make this fit and run? Thanks for any help I can get.

It's not that difficult, but you can do better than the engine you picked out...

^+1000 You can if you are smart about it build a 351W shortblock up with heads and cam and produce a ton of HP within a close price range. You can get the short block in the vicinity of $2500 and heads for $1700-$2000 range and kick some major a** and be far ahead of the game. If you are planning on building serious HP in the future the time to start is now.

But why you just throwing the 302 out? 134K isnt alot of miles on a 5.0 roller motor. You can still do alot with it. I mean even with that crate, your still going to have to buy, bigger injectors, a new intake, headers and exhaust, Throttle body, CAI, etc. I mean, get some iron GT-40s with a set of shorteis and a Trick Flow intake, some 24* injectors a Trick Flow stg. 1 cam and your still coming out cheaper than that crate engine and about the same power as its making.

Like i said 134K isnt alot on a 302 roller motor, expicially since you would be rebuilding the heads on that motor you have now by getting the GT-40's. Just do a compression test and if it comes out good, then your good to go on that bottom end.

look around for remanufactured motors... or CHP and such

If you are going to buy that, why not spend an extra $300 and buy this setup instead? For $300 extra, you can get an extra 55+ HP and some extra tq. And you get a nice 347 stroker instead
