Hello,

I have the opportunity to get a 91 302 HO short block from a Thunderbird. I am pretty sure the block is the same as the 91 Mustang 5.0 but wanted to validate before I go through the work of getting the motor and starting a build on it. I know the heads are a bit different as is the cam and ECC and I have no interest in using any of those parts. I plan to use the block, crank, rods and pistons only and add aftermarket heads, intake, etc. My main concern is if all the accessories from my my current 91 5.0 will bolt to this block in the same location. Alternator, A/C, power steering, water pump, etc..

Thanks.

Short block is the same, the intake and accessories are SN95 mustang style, but your parts will bolt right on fine.
