Hey guys,
I'm planning on doing a fuel injected 302 swap into my 67 Mustang 289 with a T-5. I'm starting with a '92 virgin roller 302 block from a F-150 that I'm going to need everything for.
Here's my plan for the motor: A mild 302 with iron Gt40 heads, Explorer Gt40 intake, headers, cam, roller rockers. My intent is to build a good street able motor for everyday driving. This is a somewhat budget build, I don't want the absolute best (forged everything, all new parts etc.) but I want good and reliable. I want to use fox body mustang fuel injection for simplicity and easy to work on, find, and buy parts for.
I already have good Gt40 heads from an explorer however I need EVERYTHING else. I want to get members thoughts on what I should get for the rest of the motor.
Here's the list of things I can think of so far that I'm going to need:
Internal engine Components:
Crank- Stock, forged, aftermarket cast steel? I'm not sure
Rods- Stock, Forged, aftermarket cast? I have a set of stock rods will that be good enough?
Pistons- They're probably going to need to be .030 over, hypereutectic or forged?
Rings- A good set of moly rings?
Bearings- A good set of bearings?
Intake-I want a Gt40 explorer intake but which one should I get? Egr or Non?
Cam- A nice mild cam with a decent lope and good sound and power. Ford E cam? Comp cam?
Rockers- A good set of roller rockers that will work on Gt40 heads?
Springs- Have to be matched to the cam but what will work with Gt40 heads?
Fuel Injection Components:
Fuel rail- A stock rail will be fine but what vehicles can I get one from?
Fuel injectors- Stock 19lb? Bigger?
Throttle body- Stock? I think 65 or 70mm
MAF- which one should I use?
Egr- Should I eliminate the egr or keep it?
Computer-Which ECM should I get, what vehicles can I get one from
Wiring harness- What wiring harness is best? I would like to get a stock mustang harness but I'm open to suggestions.
That's all I can think of for now, I know I will have many more questions throughout the build. My plan is to keep track of the build within this thread and post my progress as I assemble everything.
Please comment and let me know what you think of the build and what parts I should use for the motor and fuel injection.
Thanks, Ranger
