302 in a shoebox?

Less work than a SBC?

 

abouy the same if your motor has a rear sump pan and ealy style manifolds mid 70`s truck work and a mount kit

 

Get yourself either Jamco or Opies mount kit and a rear sump setup & it'll fit without too much effort . You can use either 60's rear-dump 289 exhaust manifolds or fox body 'Stang stock "headers" - both fit right in . Ford in a Ford without any more effort than fitting a belly ****on in there .

 

Thanks guys,I think it will end up with which ever I get cheaper!

 

Fox body mustang is a double sump pan which is good for the swap need the pickup tube. Or a dressed up roller 302 out of a fox body are usually fairly cheap!

 

What years are the fox bodies?

 

1979 to 1993 the body after mII. Later models are metric but also roller cam! More power, can cab and dura spark them also

 

1994-95 5.0 uses the same double hump pan as do both the 5.0 V8 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer.

I think all Fords cars after the mid-80's used the double hump. Don't afraid to look at F-150's too. Most are or can easily be roller cam.

 

I'm using a 87 f-150 roller but changed the pan to older front sump, notched xmember required , easy to do. Also older timing cover, water pump , v belt system,etc. I went with the front sump because i'm going with a power rack and pinion with older 70 ford style power steering pump and gives me lots of room for the rack.
