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.

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:
