Default swapping motors/ computer question



Alright guys, I have done several searches on this site but have come up short so far. I have a friend who has several 302's too choose from. There is one in a Lincoln Towncar, and another in a Capri. They are both fuel injected and the computers and wiring is all there with them. There is also a Mustang that has a carbed 302, but has tranny trouble. I have a 1990 mustang with the 2.3/5spd combo. What kind of mess are we talking about as far as wiring goes if I get the fuel injected motor. Would it be easier to go with the carb, which I think it would be. Also, where can I find new components for my clutch and such so I can get the 302 mated to the tranny? Thanks in advance, and if there are already posts similiar to this one, please link me to them.

Thanks for the link. I am thinking that sticking with a carbed motor might be the simplest and cheapest way to go for now. I don't have a very large budget. Also, I finally found a few links through google and got alot of information about the swap. There could be quite a few snags unless I plan this all out better. I think I got too excited too fast. Thanks.
