I'm the owner of an '89 LX V8. Now that I just got my smog renewed and won't need another for 2 years, I'm thinking that it would be a fun project to install a carburated 302 that I recently built. I'm just starting to consider this project and need to do some research. I have a few questions that maybe some of you guys can answer.
1) Does anyone make an aftermarket kit to fit pulleys and whatever else I need for the altenator, A/C, etc?
2) It's an 85 block and the car's an 89 Mustang. Can I use the water pump that I have on this engine or do I need to use an '89 water pump for clearance/fit issues?
3) Does anyone make a throttle linkage kit (I'll be using a Holley carb)?
4) How difficult is it to remove/replace the engine and tranny together as a unit? From experience on other cars, I know it's just such a pain in the ass to have to align the engine and trans when the trans is not removed.
5) What else do I need to worry about? The engine should otherwise be a straightforward swap, right?
