BLEW IT UP! time for a 302

Yep heard a snap and grinding noise from the transmission, wouldn't do anything and saw a big puddle of ****** fluid. So i coasted it down the hill into a safe spot. Time for the 302 to go into it.

I'm currently sitting on the side of the road waiting for a damn tow truck

 

That ****s... what engine does it have now?

 

That ****s! If I wasn't scared of green wooded areas I leave the concrete jungle of Seattle and help haul your *** home. Best of luck & hope things don't cost too much.

 

Y-block/Fordomatic or FE/cruise-o-matic? (at least I think those were the two automatic options?)

That really ****!!! I hope you don't have to wait to long for the tow truck.

 

223 inline 6 with a 2 speed auto

 

I hear ya man! My girlfriend's '54 Customline has a 223 and a 2 speed auto and I'm just waiting for the day that it looks at me wrong and its time for a 302 and an AOD in that car! Hope you got it home safe!

 

I've been waiting for it to go. Ill be alot happier with a 302

 

poor ol sixer you killer KILLER I say Lol

 

Me and dynaflash_8 will be tearing it apart tonight ill take photos

 

Well after a interesting day I pulled the ****** pan off and found a ton of friction material at the bottom but no chucks. We now believe the torque convertor took a **** along with the governor. But the 223 and ****** are now out and the car is awaiting the 302.

 

Satin black would look good in the engine bay. 302 a roller motor?

 

The engine I'm putting in it is just a stock 302 out of my 77 mustang.
I am building a 302 that might be a roller that will eventually go in but that's down the road.

 

A manual trans swap would have been a quick way to get it back on the road.

 

Yea but it NEEDS a bigger engine

 

I guess a 223 is not much of a motor for that big car.

 

You darn kids and your cars ! I say it needs a big C.I. FE engine and FMX trans !

Yikes ! single stage master cylinder ! time for change on that kiddo !

 

Did Marty tow you home in the Model A ? LOL !

 

Lol no I think my car weighs about 8 times more then his A

 

Yea that'd be great if this car wasn't my daily. My single stage works just fine lol

 

Ah gee, ya think it will fit between those fenders.

 

I wont have any problems getting it to fit lol.

 

A set of motor mounts for a 289 63 galaxie and it sits in the stock 6 cyl frame mounts. No cutting at all (we done this swap in my brothers fullsize) good looking car, hope to hear its on the road soon.

 

Hmmm I'm gonna give that a try.

 

Easier than u think. Will need a front sump oil pan from mid 70s back fullsize car. If u use an 85? And earlier aod, the overdrive is cable operated and u can use the stock column shifter too. My old 63 got 22 mpg with that set up snd im doin it again to my 58 this winter. 82 up ltd/crown vic radiator fits easy enuf to with easy to make top brackets.

 

Good luck, that will be a nice upgrade...
And cool Ford by the way.
I like it.
Cheers............

 

Awesome thanks for the tips those were the 2 things we were concerned about

 

Me and Marty got the 302 out of the 77 mustang and it'll find its new home in the Galaxie very soon.

 

Got the motor in should have it back on the road soon.

 

Actually those early AODs are rod operated instead of cable. TCI makes a constant pressure valve body that ends the gnats *** adjusment or burn up the ****** problem that AODs have.
