Ok, here is the situation. I have a tired 302 in my '90 stang, i was wondering what it takes to perform an engine swap to a chevy 350. I know all you ford fans will cry out in support for your engines, just remember, i havent done anything yet. And either way i see it, its still AMERICAN muscle. I would like to now what i would have to do to perform this operation (such as replacing motor mounts?). Thanks.[sm=patriot.gif]

 

step 1: remove head from butt. but you do have a good point, no foreign crap, plus, the 350 is prob the most used motor ever. every street rod has them.

 

Honestly, I think this is one of those questions that, no matter how many poeple reply, you are still going to need to speak with some sort of professional.

Doesn't ford have a 5.7? The lightning is a 5.7 right?

 

no, ford has the 5.8. 5.7 is GM and Chrysler.

 

yea a 5.7 is a 350 and a 5.8 is a 351 if i am correct. i say just get a 5.8 and put it in there or replace the 5.0

 

chevy 350? how about ford 351? would probably be easier and you wouldn't end up with some frankestein of car.

 

As if Calvin isn't confused enough on what to pee on!!!
THIS WOULD BE YOUR STICKER!!!!!

 

i am actually a huge chevy fan even though i like my mustang but a chevy 350 will outperform a ford 351 but like fordguy17 said about a frankenstein car.... its not worth it

i had a 95 thunderbird that had a 4.6 from a 2002 mustang GT with a supercharger and that was bad enough trying to work on that thing.

and if you ever go to sell it after that........ well um i dont know of many people who are into ford and chevy at the same time

my opinion work the ***** out of your 5.0

 

if u got the money, find a 351 windsor and set that thing in there. its the closest you can get to the 5.0, but its a 5.8. there is a bunch that is swappable between the 351 W and the 5.0. more than most motors. much easier.

plus, the money to install is nothing compared to the Ford/Chevy laws youd be breaking!!!

 

351's can be killer.
