In Reply to: 200 to 302 swap... posted by David Blodgett on April 20, 1999 at 14:34:05:
2 door w/302 and a 4 door/w200. both 74's. the power steering pump is different on the cars, lines are run differently. You'll need the springs from the one with the 302 or it will handle like crap. If you're not aware, the bell housings are different on the two. If you need anymore info, let me know, I can go check mine. I got all set up for a 200 to a 302 swap, then I bought a Comet with a 302. Good luck

: Well, I'm getting that other Maverick tomorrow, and I'll be doing the swap in a week or two. is there anything I should know before I start this project? My mav is a '71, 2 door, manual brakes, steering, no AC. The donor car is a '74, 4 door, manual brakes, power steering, and has AC. I will have both cars side by side when I'm doing this.
: thanks for any suggestions or tips.
