i am planning on dropping a carbureted 302 into my currently 2000 V6 mustang. does anyone know if my stock K-member will work? any other help would be appreciated, and is there anybody who is familiar with this kind of a conversion? thanks

don't bother. sell the 2000 and get a V8 car. the hassles you will go thru (even going carbed) are going to outweigh the benefit of putting the v8 in your 2000 mustang, especially if you've never done a motor swap before. the car will spend more time in the shop then on the road.

yeah atleast get a older fox body to do this to.

The swap your wanting to do is a real bastard.

Buy a 95 GT if you like the body on your 2000.
