hey guys havent been on here in a long time.
i bought a 302 engine from a guy in town who told me it was our of an 88 stang. i get it home and look the casting numbers down by the starter and its e7te from what i can find that makes it an 87 truck block with a mustang topend on it i checked the firing order of the plugs that are on it and they are in correct order for a h.o. 5.0 so im at a lose for what the hell is going on with this engine. any help is appreciated

 

one more question. if this is a truck engine i would need to put a new crankshaft in it to work with my mustang cam and computer?

 

Ford used the E7 casting number for more than just one year. You have nothing to worry about. No changing crankshafts or anything needed.

 

thats still a 5.0 ho motor im not sure of the number but you dont need to swap out the crank

 

No issue, I use a 95 F-150 block.

 

thanks guys now i just gotta deal with the 86 flat top pistons

 

88 should have valve reliefs, 86 was the only year without
