Hey guys I am in the planning stage of swapping out my stock 12a with the stock nikki carb for a 302 with aluminum heads and headers. Maybe a mild cam later down the road. It will be mated with a t5 transmission. I will be keeping my stock rear end for now until it breaks. My question is this, the driveshaft from grannysspeedshop, is that for the t5 to the stock rear end? will the length be correct? If I can't find an answer I will end up taking a mustang driveshaft and joining it with the stock driveshaft. I know a lot of MGB guys do this when they swap to the rover and ford rear end.

What clearance issues will I have with the double sump oil pan and a carb? What radiator is recommended for the fb with the 302 and how much further does the motor sit than the stock 12a?
