hi I just recently picked up a 94 mustang for $450 with a blown headgasket on the 3.8. I'm working on finding all the parts right now for the T5 and 302.
Here's the car:

I won an "86 302 with 120k miles" off ebay for $150.

My daddy's letting me use his garage for all of this:

Removed the intake and what did I see?

yay. the engine block's numbers say its an E7TE so should be out of a truck but it has roller lifters, I'm surprised

Car looks straight and clean! Definitely like the 3.8 to 5.0 swap!

MysteryMachine · Mar 26, 2010

yup def a truck 302. They had a different intake

alleymad95GT · Mar 26, 2010

For $450 bucks, the body and interior on your car doesn't look too awfully bad IMHO.

Have fun.

oh yeah, I picked up the mustang intake upper/lower/throttle body for $80 with 4,000 miles

omg, i cant find the right size for the transmission mount bolts to mount the engine stand to it, anyone know what size they are?
3/8 course is too small.

The bolts for the bellhousing to block are 5/8 IIRC.

Looks like quite the project. Have fun with it and good luck

Correct.

Jamee · Apr 2, 2010

this took way too long

94GTCoupe · Apr 3, 2010

nice!
dont rush through it,take your time.

MysteryMachine · Apr 3, 2010

That's why I tear them down first. Makes pulling it sooo much easier.

I'm looking forward to my new build. Gonna be a slow process though. Car needs work and I gotta save up for parts

Blackened302 · Apr 3, 2010

good deal, man, good luck w/the swap.

cantbuytime · Apr 4, 2010

Nice start..

I would have tried to get a Gt40 Explorer intake for cheap. IMO

COBRA90GT · Apr 4, 2010

Sweet.

Get 'er done !

02 281 GT · Apr 4, 2010

Great progress! With the old engine out, now would be a good time to clean up the engine bay really good and maybe re-route/hide some wires while you're at it.

i wasnt really sure if the front end would disassemble, but it does u say?, i may still need to take the radiator support off to get the engine out, the garage's cieling doesnt give me enough room

I would shorten up the chain as much as possible first, then if it still wont clear, I would remove the wheels and lower it down as far as possible. I think Jinx meant disassemble the accessories on the motor.
