was wondering i gotta guy thats selling a 302 from a 1972 mustang will that fit in my 1995 mustang 3.8? i know i would need a k member i beleive but help would be great thanks alot

well first you need to decided carb'ed or fuel injected?? carb'ed will be a lot cheaper and less hassle.....fuel injection will require all proper hardware, wiring and ecm....amongst other things......also a 72 302 is a non roller motor and if going fuel injected I'd suggest using a roller cam block

 

no i am going carb definitly. love carbs plus less hassle of wiring and all that stuff. so will that be alright to throw in a 95 v6 mustang? let me know thanks for the help


matt

 

yeah it'll work ......just gotta build it right and not sure about k-member on v-6 cars but get the proper driveline parts and a lot of work ahead of you!!! to do!!!...but the motor will work with any cab set up you choose

 

ok thank you does any one know if the transmission in my 1995 manual will fit the 302? maybe a different bellhousing? or what not. please let me know if u could thanks alot :-)

Mjr, Just wondering why you advise going with a roller block if going with fuel injection??? I doing a swap with a 76' 302 block and am going with fuel injection. I was just curious of the thought on this

 

I think you'll need an oil pan for the Mustang in any case.
I would use a C-4 thats a pan-fill type.
That would bolt up to the early 302 and still fit the car. Pan fill because they are more durable than case fill.
If the V-6er don't have an 8.8 rearend, go shopping..........

 

tinman im 1 step ahead there. i did all that stuff FIRST. new rear suspension BRAND NEW 3.73 ford racing rear end off the assembly line. already in my car. i will look around for the trans tinman but if i dont get one that i want or that fits my price. will my trans work? cause its a BRAND NEW trans? thanks in advance again
