Alright, I have a couple questions. I found a Hatchback mustang, 2.3L AT stang for $500 in the autorv mag. The body looks find, my question is this, for the 302 engine swap, what all needs to be replace? The transmission to one that can handle the horses, a rear end what? axle or the rear end gears? If it is the gears that need to be replaced then that's cool because I plan on doing 4.10 at least, I thought my friend said he had 4.56, if so me wants them! is there anything else? Please give me some info so I can see what all this stuff costs and find out if it is a good buy and worth the work.

BTW, here is the link, I found it on the autorv.com site.... http://www.auto-rv.com/default.asp?a...name=BM0170203

 

for your question the swap is relatively simple, im not sure the rearend in the 2.3l stangs but i would recommend putting an 8.8 inch rearend in it (if theres not one) and becarful with any gear higher then 4.10, 1 ur gonna have poor gas milage, 2 your gonna run out of gear.

 

what do you have for a mustang that ran a 16.8.....

 

Not meaning to steal the post but unless it was raining and you couldn't hook, or something is wrong with your car, you should be doing one HELL of a lot better than that.
