Default New Guy Sorta Pathetic

OK so I am getting into cars and since I can not afford a Mustang I did the next best thing... I bought a 302 engine with an automatic transmission and it just so happened to be from a 1975 Mustang II (or so I think).

The goal is to build an engine test stand for it and try to get it to run outside the car. All that's missing is the fan, radiator, alternator, and mufflers. I hope to buy some basic gauges at Harbor Freight and get some readings.

I can do basic things on cars, but I want to learn what it takes to start an engine, do the timing, tune the carburator, etc... I don't really care for all the SMOG crap and hope to remove it.

Will turn to you guys/gals for help I'm sure,
