i just got a 90 model stang body in perfect shape ($500) and i am looking to convert it to a 302/351. i just want to get to know as much as i can b4 i start. i just found a 302 police interceptor ($300) with 80,000 miles on it, is thisa deal that i dont need to let get away? also can i use my 4cyl tranny just put a new clutch and presurre plate in or do i need a v8 tranny? can i use my 4cyl rear end or will i need to get a 8.8 or9 inch? and i am thinking about going with a 3:73 gear is this a good gear in a 5 speed? any help will be very much appreciated. sorry about all the questions in one post. thanks guys

if you go with a v8 you definately need a new tranny and rear end. im running a 289 right now and im going to another v8 and i need a new tranny and rear end. im going from a 289 to a 331. im gonna throw in a five spd and a 9 incher. so i suggest you swap the tranny and rear end if you gonna make that big of a conversion. and if you can scrounge up 300 bucks, buy the police car. you can use it as a parts car if its got any left on it. like the rear end and tranny if its still got em. hope this helps. and welcome to the greatest forums of them all.
