sbf swap
hey guys i have a 1990 Gx and i was wondering i have a spare 302 lying around that i wanna use when my 13b goes, im just conserned im guessing the a carb'd setup will not clear a stock T2 hood? im prolly going EFI any ways but will the ford efi manifolds clear a T2 hood, i just wanna make a sleeper with out going cowl :)

If you use a Weiand 8011 intake and a low profile air cleaner a carb setup should work
http://static.summitracing.com/globa...e/wnd-8011.jpg OR if you use an Edelbrock 7123 5.0L manifold if you want injection http://static.summitracing.com/globa...edl-7123_w.jpg Both are among the slightest of stature. |
ive got a 302 in a non turbo rx7 2nd gen and the distributor doesnt clear the hood, the carb isnt even on yet. just a heads up.

oh geese,
this isnt looking good, i love Rx7's to death but i am really against a cowl induction hood on it :( Is there any way to lower the engine more in between the frame with shorter frame mounts? but there might be a problem with oil pan clearence as well, anyone else have any more info? Marcello |

spacer sub frame
I have a 5.0 in an FC. You will have to use a low profile intake as said before. Carbed - Edelbrock Performer or similiar, EFI - the one listed might work, I know a stock 94-95 Mustang or 89-91 Thunderbird intake will clear. To get the distributor to clear spacer the sub-frame down a 1/2". I cut 4- 1/2" thick pieces of flat bar and drilled holes in them. Dropped the sub-frame down, placed spacer over spuds( I think that's what they are called) and raised the sub-frame. Spuds(?) are long enough for 1/2" spacer but, not much more. Everything will clear under stock hood. Some trimming will still be neccessary on bottom of hood.
