Ok i want to get a mustang for a porject car. I found one but its a 4 cyclinder(sp) auto and of course i want to put an 8 cyclinder manual it in. But what am i going to need besides the obviouse like the 8 cyclinder engine and transmission and standered pedal cluster. What else would i need for this swap and where can i get it? Thanks alot in advance.

Are you dropping a 302 in it, or larger like a 351?

I dont really know yet. Probably which ever one will give me the most power for my money, which im assuming is going to be the 302. But i was thinking of the 5.0 that came on the older stangs but i dont know if thats a 302 of a 351 i would love a 351 but it might just be to much money for me.

the 5.0 is the 302, a great motor

the 351 is an easy swap but not cheap...

crazyknight

Yeah. Well ill probably just go for the 302 swap. How hard is it going to be? Im assuming if i know what im doing i can do it and it wont be that hard considering the 302 came in some of those mustangs. And i talked to a friend of mine and he said all i need is the engine tranny wireing harness and a new rear end and that should be it am i missing anything? Also how much would a good 302 and Tranny go for?

check your local classifieds, craiglist, and post in the want to buy. Tims 88 has a 302 for sale? correct?
