im looking to buy a loca, fb.

I have a fc and a fd, but i know nothing about v8 swapped fb's!!

What do these car weight in at?

its a 1985 gs ?

Has built ford racing 302 with c6 5speed trans ? .40 over 750 holley carb.

All stock.

he said it needs the speedo and tach hooked up.. ANY INPUT! ?

I SEARCHED AND SEARCHED ANY ONE HAVE A LINK to a v8 swap into fb ? or tips ?

 

check out www.norotors.com and grannys speed shop (has link's to swap info and parts)

If you have SMOG or similar in your area make sure its covered with the carb on it. Very fast and reliable, cheap parts. Weight distribution doesnt change much, but you'll want better brakes for sure, GSL rear end or GSL-SE would be good for the stronger diff/lsd and disc rears.

GS rear end will be the weak point unless he upgraded it, see how well he modded the driveshaft. Make sure he went to a good driveshaft shop that balanced it, cause you have to take the FB joint from the diff and weld to the mustang shaft.

Fun car, just make sure the safety is up to check along with the ability to register in your county without DMV issues. I'm in CA, so its a B!TCH to get the swap legal...lots of hoops to jump through. I'm going to be tackling my swap in the next month or so.

PM me any more Questions if you like.

 

Great swap, lighter than a 350 chev. Also, no heavier than a TII swap. Exhaust is tricky, not a lot of ground clearance, straight duals to a dual in dual out cherry bomb would be ideal.

 

Here's a place that all they deal with is piston swapped RX7s http://www.grannysspeedshop.com/

 

Wow you guys are quite helpful . I was thinking more on the lines of begone blasphemerrrr.....

 

The Other Engines Conversion section will have more info for you, moving your thread there.
