Kidding.

I've got the money put back for the engine, i should be picking it up sometime later this weekend or early in the week. Low milage, strong running 302 with ECU, Harness, all manifolds, ignition, fuel system, ect. for $300. Hopefully i'll be able to post a video of the inital start-up when spring comes around, i doubt i'll get much done with the swap over the winter aside from collecting parts due to an unheated shed which i will be working in.

 

Not again.. do a search, i think you posted this allready.

 

Heh, i didn't post the details. I just discussed with him the final things about it after he stopped by this evening. A little update for the people who called BS on me.

It's taking longer than i expected, i was expecting to have it running by the end of this month. The guy buying my Camaro backed out on me after i held the car for him for a month. I resorted to getting a job to pay for this, unfortionately it'll be too cold to work on a car this late in the year.

 

Do you ever sleep?

 

Sleep is for dead people.

 

Then how do you dream up all your crazy ideas?

 

Lol,,,ok updated,,, now back to the front !!

 

Exactly how did this thread add to tech help for 1stgens? The answer is yes.

 

Probably from not sleeping.

 

1st Generation Specific (1979-85)
1979-85 Discussion including performance modifications and technical support sections

It's not only a First Gen tech section, also a discussion of performance modifcation, this goes under the "performance modification" section.

 

If it was me doing the swap, I would have invested into a heater for this frozen shed first....

 

I don't see it....looks like you're reading off a classifieds and not actually doing anything to report...

 

Here's the deal with that, my mother won't let me use a heater because "it'll catch fire".

 

I want to know about the whole 302 swap process. Those engines sound mean as hell and i get tingling in my stomach just from thinking about over 300 lb of instantaneous tourque. We are talking about an engine that's not that big yet already makes some decent power in a stock form.
One doesn't even need to modify the internals to hit high 12's with this setup in a naturally aspirated form.

 

Well, then here you go hot dog...

Real Info for Real Twisted Minds

It certainly ain't here....

 

mar3 are you some kind of rotary police?

It seems like you can do any mod, any monstrosity at all around here until you mention a V8.

I say good luck on the swap. The car is pactically made for it. you will find that it is surpisingly simple.

 

I still keep thinking about doing a supercharged SHO motor in one... How badass would that be?!?!?

Dan

 

Sorta a good idea, but would you make the 7 FWD?...

 

I still say bullshit, Ill beleive it when you get it in there and running. I think you are in for a big suprise...

 

I'll get it running just for you.

 

promise?

and then you gonna come looking for me? better have more than that 5.0 302

 

4.9

 

ahem... 4.9418 Any you think you're a Ford guy... phhht..

 

still rounds down

 

New here myself, but even I have heard this one before.
