i was wondering what would be needed to swap an old school 302 from the 60's into a 1994 v-6 stang.has anyone ever done this? or have heard of it? after googling it all i cant find is people that have swapped for fox body 5.0's. any help would be great. im just looking for a fun car in the end to drive around and cruise on the weekends and car shows + when i open the hood people to go !! what the h**l? lol thanks, ken

You need a V8 motor mounts,ignition,cooling system,and exhaust.

If you have an AOD it will bolt up as will the T5.The 3.8 and 5.0 share the same bolt patterns.

This is a simple swap and can be done in a day every thing bolts right in.

for a mild V8 your stock v6 radiator will work.

you could start by looking around for the parts that come STOCK on 94-95 GT's and cobras.... since they had a 5.0

and yes, its been done before, you arent breaking any kind of new ground with this one. Get the engine harness and ECM from a 94-95 and any accessory brackets you can scrounge up. this is not a hard swap... Infact, if you have all the parts (i.e. a donor 94-95) the swap can be done in a weekend

hey, I posted the same post but for a 95' i didnt really look around first i was wondering if anyone else could help me out too. i was wondering about the back end too. like a good set up in the back i was thinking 3.73s. also i was wondering if a hurst billet shift would fit in a 95, and a short throw. or are they two different things? also if the engine mounts would be like the gt mounts and stuff. if anyone would get back to me on my post i'd greatly appreciate it.

chris,

so are the motor mounts still the same for the 60's 302? sorry forthe stupid questions but i really dont know the newer cars at all. stick me under the hood of some real american muscle and ill go right to town i could but a big block in a pinto with a set of vise grips. lol

holy crap man.... get the parts for a 1994-1995 GT v8 5.0 (302) mustang... its not that damn hard

depending on ur skill level + budget it may be cheaper to just buy a factory V8 mustang

most people wont be surprised to see a v8 under the hood of a mustang... if ur goin for the sleeper look u could just de-badge, use v6 rims, etc..
