ford 302 fc
 
I've been searching and searching and can't seem to find anything good on this swap so.just wondering how hard is it and can I use a t2 drivetrain with the 302 powerplant? Any advice would help. Also looking to do a carbd 302 for the sake of no wiring.

You will use the Ford transmission.

Beyond that, what are you trying to figure out? Granny's has mounts.

Yeh ill use the 302 engine with the stock tranny and if I get the granny mounts what else will I need besides for the driveshaft?

Yea looks like a dogbone dosent work all that great. Ill try to get a pic of mine tomorrow and give you a better idea of what i did.

Derek_McDermott 08-13-13 02:17 PM

Alright man thank you. You using a t2 rear end or did you do a 8.8 swap?

Derek_McDermott 08-14-13 02:56 AM

Also how'd you rub the clutch line since the t5 is cable and the rx7 is hydrolic?

darrin1 08-14-13 12:24 PM

Factory rear factory driveshaft. If you are running a t5 i have external slave cylinder and mounting bracket for sale i bought a hinson modified master cylinder. Worked perfectly till i swapped over to tko500 which uses different external slave cylinder. If you need more info and pix you can text me at 570 764 6249.

If you make your own bracket, you can use the stock Mazda hydraulic slave and master cylinder.. only thing I bought was a brake line and hard metal line from Autozone. Pics here:

Sorry for getting back to you so late ive been super busy with school, but how hard was that to make? And howd you go about making them?

Derek_McDermott 09-01-13 07:17 PM
