I have recently acquired a 1973 302. I would like to put it into my 93 lx notch. I want to keep it carbourated. what else am i going to need for the swap. Any help would be helpful. thanks

automatic or 5 spd???, cause they are 28 oz motors and you'll need a matching flywheel or flexplate...is the 93 a 4 cyl right now??

joshsredfox

Yes it is a 2.3, automatic right now. I was told i need a new k member but that is all i can find out at the moment

the 4 cyl and 5.0s shared the same K-member...

joshsredfox

ok well then I am at a loss wwhere do I start

mjr46

no new k-member needed, you'll need a tranny, a motor as you have and motor mounts, and a double hump cross member and for now you can use the 4 cyl 7.5 single track rear, but I'd upgrade to an 8.8 soon , as for where to start, pull the 4 popper and tranny out and harness out

Cool that is some good news. I guess I will start looking for a tranny on craigslist or a junk yard. I am tying to keep this build as cheap as possible. I probably won't get to start on it soon. i am getting ready to go to iraq for a year.

if you have to round up all the parts is may cost you a pretty penny, I found a donor 5.0 when I did mine and after it was all said and done and I had sold all parts off the car I didn't use my total investment into the conversion was 315.00 bucks
