Ok so I broke down and bought a 5 speed 1989 2.3 Lx for $500. It already has the 5.0 appearance kit. I have a 1986 ford bronco with a EFI 302 motor in it. What would I need to do to take the 302 from the truck and drop it in the car. Thanks

well.. new tranny.. new motor mounts.. new rear end..bigger radiator to be on the safe side..and..also.. the 5.0's out of the trucks are kinda doggy and sackless.. look for a ho motor.

if i were u i would avoid anythin to do with the 1986 5.0 that year. ford made it so crappy, with the worst pistons ever and the heads suck, u cant mod it for those reasons unless u want to completely tear it down however i dont kno for sure if they were in every model that year so. jsut get a a 87 or newer 5.0 they are not hard to find. and u will need motor mounts, a new trannny, a new rear, and a clutch, driveshaft, and thats all i can think of

good luck

Is the rear end tranny and clutch mandatory in the conversion if my car is a 5 speed manual.
