    Hello everyone still new to the site but I was hoping to get some help about putting a 302 in my 1952 Ford Customline. I know there are weld in brackets for this application but I was curious if there is a bolt in kit as I eventually hope to upgrade to a 351. Any info would be much appreciated!

    302 and 351W should both use the same engine mounts.

    302, 351W, and 351C all use the same mounts and bell housing.

    Just used above kit in my 53... had to use fram PH16 oil filter and grind the edge off drivers side motor mount... this motor is a 302 out of a 78 f100 with a front slum oil pan and a 4 speed o/d tranny behind it... had to cut the floor and round out the crossmember with an 8lb sledge to get clearance... but it works..[​IMG][​IMG]
