Greetings,
Can someone please list all the things I'd need to do if I want to put a late 80's/early 90's 5.0 in a '73 in place of the stock 302?
The original '73 302 is junk and instead of getting another early 302 long block, how hard would it be to use a 5.0 (w/ roller cam) and use it in the '73?
The plan would be to use an early 302 carb intake.
I know the firing order is different, the timing cover would have to be changed for a mechanical fuel pump or an inline electric pump could be used. I'd also assume that the pan and oil pump would have to be changed to the early 302 type? Finally, I think the clutch pivot from the original block would have to be swapped to the 5.0 to keep the early clutch linkage.
What am I forgetting?
THANKS!
