302 EFI 5.0 Engine

shurb125 · January 9th, 2007, 09:25 PM

I was wondering what you guys think about this potential purchase. I have an opportunity to purchase this engine and transmission (automatic C5 ??) that came out of a 92 GT, it had about 80 K miles and ran great and a transmission that shifted great. The pictures that I have seen it seems different than the one in my 93 LX. (when looking down at the engine frome the front bumber) the A/C compressor is on the left and the alternator is on the right and the throttle body and air intake is on the right also, exact opposite of mine. Will this engine block work in my car. Thanks for any feed back.

The cost is $250, I don't think I have much to lose.

well i am not sure what the deal is with the parts being on the oppisite sides but for that price you can't beat it even for the parts

i bought a 78 model 302 out of a truck about a week ago... that looks alot like the setup minus the EFI of course. the plenum is even on the opposite side in your picture, im not sure whats up with that.

Will the block still work in my 93 LX, vert?

Looks like a Thunderbird engine to me. Its not a Mustang engine.

All I'm looking to do is use the block to build an engine for my 93 LX, and disgard everything else, can this be done without a lot of trouble?

that is a non roller cam block, I almost bought one for my mustang, but they only have around 160 bhp. Weak engines compared to the HO.
