Smile The Stang's New Engine

My Stang is finally about to have its heart transplant.

The new 302 will be here in about a week. Here is a picture of it.

Looks good, but I'd ditch the crappy gatorback belt.

Hmm.. whats wrong with the gatorback belts? I've been looking at the March pulley system for our 351w (likely calling them tomorrow or Monday to order) and think thats what they use. Could be wrong but thought I read they used or suggested the Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V serpentine belts.

Edit: Yup... The part number for the pulley system is MCH-30420 and the belt is GTR-4060595.

I can't wait to hear it run again!

Its definitely going to be a totally different animal than it used to be. It was an I6 before.

Here is my 65.



The engine was built by the Engine Factory. Here are most of the details.

The pulleys are March. They make a serp setup for just alternator and water pump.

Whats wrong with the Goodyear belts? I like the Gatorback belts. My 95 F150 has one. Its actually its second one. They seem to last well and don't make noise. My truck has 265K miles on it. I had a Gates and it squeeled when it was raining so I dumped it. Dayco polycog I think its called are good. My Dad had one of the Dayco belts on his 97 Cobra for a long time.
