i want to get a fox body mustang. i pretty much have a 302eng&trans to go in one.
the two stangs i have to choose from are:

1) a 91 hatchback. 4cyl auto. body& interior in good shape.

2) a 90 trunk model. has a chevy 350 and chevy trans. body is decent.

which of of these two would be easier to put a 302 in? BTW:they are both the same price.

Good question. It'd be nice to get the notchback and put a ford motor back into it. However its someone elses hack job and you might have to get more parts to make the 302 work in it. The hatch might be easier since you are working with factory stock. Then again if you get the notch with the chevy motor you have an engine to sell. Your call

What retard would put a 350 in a Mustang???? I say skip it and grab the 4-cyl. It may be a lot of work, but you at least know where you stand. God know's how badly screwed up the other one is.
