Engine 82 Mustang Gt With A 79 5.0

buy a summit 600cfm carb and call it a day. for $279 you cant beat it and works great

The 1979 302 has a factory 2bbl carb.

The later GT's had a 4bbl. That is why they show a difference. If you have a 4bbl manifold, a vac. secondary 600 cfm carb will do nicely.

What carb do you have on it now? Both the 79 5.0 and the 82 GT had a Motorcraft 2150 two barrel. The 82 may have been a bit larger, iirc. The 2150 Motorcraft 2100 or 2150 is one of the best carbs ever. Very easy to clean and rebuild.

83 Gts went to a Holley four barrel, but with some original smog limiter caps on the idle screws, etc. It can easily be upgraded.

If you are going new, a Holley 80457 four barrel would be a good choice. I have them on both 5.0's, or an Eddy 1406. I have not used the Summit carb noted above, but it should also be a good choice.
