1993 2.3 ( Non-Turbo) very wore out! I would like a V-8 I don't need a ton of power so I am thinking of a 302. How hard is it to convert to a 302? I have the factory five speed.

well i did my share of that, u can use the 4 cylinder tranny, but u need the clutch. everything else, needs to come from a v8. Its not that hard, just find u a good doner car. and then, just put on what you take off. And if ur interested, I have a 351W up for grabs.

head over to the 5.0 forum. no one here has done the swap. Thats why we hang out here, because we still have 2.3's.

lol

why even bother with a V8?

my mostly stock untuned 2.3T smoked the same year GT

it has as much hp as a V8 and as much tq as a bolt-on V8, thats how it sits now....it will have more

plus it gets great mileage and cheap insurance!
