302 swap

Found a great price on a 302 I want to replace my 250. Comes with everything and turns freely. Just want to verify it will fit. Came out of a 79 Ranchero. Will it work? What will I need to get? Would be going into a 76 Maverick. Thanks guys.

 

V8 mounts, belly bar, transmission brace, throttle cable and manifolds for the V8. Should work find though. I don't believe that is the 50oz one.

 

That suff hard to find? I thought about headers instead of manifolds. Mounts, belly bar, throttle. Any advice on where to find it?

 

Try posting in the wanted section, but the parts are expensive and sometimes hard to find.

 

It will probably run you about 300 for everything.

 

what condition is your radiator in?
do you have A/C, power brakes/steering?

 

Yes on power steering and brakes. No on A/C. Radiator is good.

 

Hi Doc:

I'll do that, thanks guys.

 

Correct, no 50 oz engines till '82...

 

are you going to rebuild this 302?

 

I am. Never done that before but that's the plan.

 

starting rebuilt, I would start with a 5.0 roller motor...JMO

 

5.0 roller? Sorry, I'm not well versed in engine swaps.

 

I would just go and rebuild the 302 you just got and search for V8 frame brackets, belly bar etc..........have you heard back from crazyeye73 yet?
