engine swap

what bending did you have to do and how did you do it,and i want to know the cuttong on the towers it required,i just got mine and im gettign it ready i have alot to do though but im going to get into the maverick world and all it has to offer hopefully i will be in everythign it has to offer.the help would be appreciated thank you

 

another thing i was wondering is what about regular manifolds is there any options for those to fit because right now im just getting ready to get in drivable,thanks for th ehelp

 

yes the stock 302 ones will work its just tight for plug swaps

 

so the 302 manifolds will go right in with the motor or will i have to persuade them too.the oil pan is another concern i just want somethign to go on it right now do you know of any oil pans that used front sump for stock applications........say i was to take one off another vehicle what vehiclke would work?io just need to get it together so i can drive it, then i will do the tear down and build the hell out of it .thanks for the help.

 

almost all the 60s & 70s fords, mustangs, lincolns, mercurys were front sump engines. the pump is always the same physically, you just need the front style pick up to bolt onto it. they're usually less than $10 new.

 

i was wondering what oil pans would work ......ones that would clear the space that i have......and is there an equal amount of space between the oil pan and powwer steering cylinder using a 302 or 351

 

get a after market deep pan the stock just dont hold enough oil

 

ok that will work,but what about the manifolds from a 302 will they slide in with the 351 or will i have to persuade them in too

 

they will fit fine will be a little close but they do work
if you use stock type pan leave stock oil pump in it no High Vol or Hi psi just stock
the way the front end comes up on mavericks or comet with that much torque even if it does spin some makes the front end come up that makes the oil run to the back of the pan where the sump or oil pickup is in the front and it sucks air and bad news for the bearings

 

are all 302 manifolds shaped the same?or is there a specific one im looking for..........because the manifolds that were on the 351 were real wide and they didt clear the towers at all so are all 302 manis narrower?

 

will these work

 

here is a better pisture

 

also i shouldnbt have to convert flyweel right? will torque converter on c4 be compatible.

 

the flex form your a older 302 will work not a newer 5.0s 50oz
you need as 28oz but as long as its 157 tooth and the bolt pattern match up it will work the one on the 351w now

 

hooker 6901 are perfect
