: definately tons o' dinero...try lots of time as well
: well...lets see, you'll need:
: a decent V-8 block,
: some v-8 motor chasis mounts,
: a dual exhaust trans cross member,
: that's pretty much the basics...the rest is just plain fun performance mods to the v-8.
: Something I might suggest, try to find a donor v-8 with all the accessory brackets, ie powersteering, alternator, etc., already on it, this will save you much time down the road...
: good luck
Exactly how much dinero we talkin here? That's the biggest problem.
My grabber came with a 250 and i know it'd be alot cheaper just to
put another 250 in but i sure would like the extra power. I'm
thinking about dooing the swap a little at a time while using a 250 so I have a
couple other questions like:
1: Will 10inch breaks work fine with a 6-cil?
2: Do only the coil springs need to be changed in the front suspention?
3: Is there anything else that a 302 hast to have that my 250
would work fine with. That way I can take care of that stuff and just wait
untill i have more money to throw the 302 in.
Thanks for the help
