about ready to set a 302 in a 96 ,: does any one know what year or kind of motor mounts i will need to go with

Redneck1465

I would get the motor mounts for a 94-95 since they have the same body style and were the last years of the 5.0

rmodel65

you swapping a v6 car over? isnt the k member gonna need to be changed?

mustang manac

I'm pretty postive you can use 96 gt motor mounts. Yes the 96 is the first year they went to the 4.6 liter but it's still in the 302 family. Plus that part will match the cars year. But if you are going to a v6 to a v8 you will have a lot of other parts that will need to be changed. You have quite a load of work to do but it will be worth it. Nothing like a v8.

rmodel65

the 302 and the 4.6 are not in the same family

mustang manac

ok when i said family i meant as in they are both small block ford engines both are v8's yes the liters are diffenent but by .4. weither it's a 5.0 or a 4.6 the motor mounts for a 96 gt should work

looks like you've got alot to learn about any mustangs..... the 96+ cars had a different k-member, different motor mounts, different trans. you'll need a 94-95 donor car or get a tubular k-member for a 79-95, then use a trans made for the 94-95. the 96+ used a t-45. any 5.0 mounts will work. the 5.0 is NOT a 4.6......

+ 1, to redpony, you'll need a donor car because nothing from the V6 is compatable with a V8.

Modular engine family, includes 4.6L, 5.0L Cammer, and 5.4L V8s, familiy specifics: overhead cam design, 2/3/4 valve options, more sustained torque curve across power band, higher reving engine capability

Windsor engine family, includes 289, 302, 351 engines, single hydrollic or tappet cam with 2V push rod design, roller rockers, high early to mid peek torque curves with less sustained torque across the entire power band

Not the same!

got the computer, headers;wiringharness, 3 intakes all brackets what else thanks

rmodel65

mustang manac is wrong :P

as state above you need a v8 5.0 k member the v6 tranny will bolt to the motor although it is a weaker variant


so your gonna go with EFI? if so you might just want to look for a totaled 94-95 GT/GTS/Cobra to help you in this swap jmho
