95 V6 convert V8??

lil_kout · December 20th, 2006, 08:07 PM

Hello, i was wondering, how hard exactly would it be if i wanted to put in a 302 in a 95 ford mustang coupe?? do i need a new tranny? or would it bolt right up?!?! HELP PLEASE!!!

you would have to get a new tranny and new motor mounts, new chip (if its a newer model 302).....new drive shaft (most likely yours wont bolt up to the new tranny) that should about cover it...if its not then someone will either correct me or add something else

yeah the guy above me pretty much covered it. Are you getting a new 5.0 or one from a car of your model. If you got one from your year it would be an easier install. Overall it will be pretty pricey.

Yea its a 95 model but its converted to carb.. so i wouldnt need the computer or anything like that i just need to know if the bellhousing will mount up to that motor.. or if id have to get the tranny, driveshaft etc..

lot less wires....and you would have to buy all that stuff......like the other guy said it will be costly

lil_kout · December 20th, 2006, 10:24 PM

yea.. i did some research and i guess the only thing on the tranny thats different is the input shaft.. but you can buy that and it has to be longer.. is this true? or was it a bunch of crap.. im only 16.. lol im not sure what to do..

yes it would be longer...you would have to buy a new drive shaft....and i would stay with the 6 since your only 16...you WILL get in trouble with a 8....or you might get hurt....i had a 302 and i wouldnt race a lot (doesnt mean i didnt) but i did get i trouble one time tho...i would wait till you get a little old and more driving experiance then get the 8

yea yea i have a 1979 Ford F-150 with a 351 cleveland.. so i think i should be able to handle the power.. lol but im almost 17 so.. that would be my b-day present.. i would have loved to put my extra 351 in the stang.. but im not to sure if id fit to good.. so im stickin with the 5.0...

i know but the truck is a lot heavier and the pick up wouldnt be that good.....but a 302 in a light car......that would get you in trouble...trust me i know...be there done that got the t-shirt.....but its your call....just trying to help

lil_kout · December 20th, 2006, 10:36 PM

oh i know.. and i appreciate it greatly!! i grew up without a dad so.. i learned all this myself.. but if i changed the input shaft what exactly does that do?? make the driveshaft shorter?? since the shaft would be longer?:S

chevy_killer · December 20th, 2006, 10:38 PM

im so sorry....but just buy a new drive shaft

lil_kout · December 20th, 2006, 10:46 PM

ah its not your fault.. but thanks for all the help i really appreciate it.. should i go aluminum? or just get the one i have cut down to size?

GreenFaleen · December 20th, 2006, 11:07 PM

dude you still have that 351 that will drop in nice. Saleen did it from 95-00 with the s351 s/c cars all started as a 6 and it is the fastest saleen ever made besides the new extreme.

lil_kout · December 20th, 2006, 11:12 PM

yea i have 2 351's one i am goin to put a stroker kit in.. and the other is just sitting there.. i didnt think the car would be able to handle it.. id have to do lots of modification so it could handle the power... but thats whati really wanted to do.. was put the 351 in.. its a 83 tho.. so its not very new..

Awesome. Yeah it will fit in there nicely get a new beefier rear end and drop that sucker in you'll have a beast put a Whipple S/C on it your running low 13's-high 12's

lil_kout · December 20th, 2006, 11:20 PM

how much would the s/c cost? around.. the stroker kit is getting done sometime next week and then i think they are goin to dyno it to see what it'll put out for sure... i sent it to the engine shop.. my buddies dad owns it and i got it all done for free..

Not to be a dick, but what does growing up without a dad have to do with any of this. Once I finally convinced the courts that mine was a prick and was trying to kill me...things just then started to get easier. In my opinion you got off easier. I wish I didn't have mine.

For all of you who say that I'm bein a dick for saying that...try living with a dad who hates you because you were born, and abused you for your life until you got away from him. I don't want sympathy or any of that crap, but honestly I don't find that relevant and searching for sympathy over the internet isn't gonna help you out at all.

i grew up with a dad.. but he didnt know shit about cars lol... he know how to change oil and minor things of that nature... i learned more about cars than my dad knows.. and i was a body/paint man for Christ's sake!
