My friend bought my dad's old 4-eye, and he wants to fix it up and put a 302 in it as a project, I want to help him with it but I have no idea about anything as far as where to find stuff for these cars. Everyone always says it's so cheap to do it, but alas, where do you go to find this stuff? Need everything from interior pieces to suspension and brakes.

The car has a 6 cylinder in it right now, I'm guessing it's need a new ecu/wiring and transmission to get a 5.0 working in it, right?

As for a 302/351 swap it depends on if you want EFI or a carb. Regardless a new tranny,crossmember,driveshaft,motor, and possibly a K member as I don't remember how the v6 K members were. I think you take the v6 motor mounts out and use 302 mounts and your good to go.

 

Theres pages on the 4cyl-5.0 swap which would point out alot of info on differences of brakes and suspension and what not. Alot of work. Best thing to do is get another wrecked 5.0 car or something

 

Alright thanks, are all of the mechanical components essentially the same from 79-93? For suspension and drivetrain stuff, I'm trying to narrow it down as what to look for.

 

quad shocks and lowering springs fit 79-04

 

Definitely latemodelresto as spike said.

 

thats why they call it late model resto homo!
