Ihave a 93 bronco with a 302 in it it have a shatter pistonbso i am gonna replace the motor rarather than rebuild what would i have to do to gonwith the 351 or should i just stay 303 for simplicity. Will my tranny and computer work for any 302 which motors will interchangs without having to replace a bunch of stuff thatnks for everyones time and input

 

You will have to change the Y pipe under the engine. Not sure about the computer, but probly have to change it too. If you get a complete 351 out of a 93 or newer, most if the sensors and accessories are the same. You will need the 351's flexplate or flywheel too, the one from the 302 will not work on a 351

 

Ok well heres my bext question i found a 302 im looking at with 84k on itbit came out of a mustang what would be the process i would have to go through for thay i know a new intake ot comea with he mptor anything else?

 

Sorry about the typos on my cell phone small letters

 

Computer, upper/lower intake, oilpan & pickup tube all need to be swapped from the truck to the Mustang engine

 

Ok so all of my accesories to the motor flywheel tranny computer will work for it all i want is the motor of it like the heads pstons all that. Everyhig else i pretty muh have new for my truck

 

I just want to make sure i dont get in too deep i know a little about mechanics just not when it cones to things that are interchangable

 

A mustang 5.0 will work, you need to strip it to the bare longblock and install the truck intake, timing cover and water pump, oilpan and pickup, and accessory brackets and miscellaneous parts. It would be a good idea while you have it torn down to install a new timing set and if you do that make it an adjustable set and install it 4deg advanced to get a little more low end torque.

 

Awesome i hope the giy calls me back then wish me luck
I will let you guys know if or when i have th motor may need to ask a few more questions lol

 

This only depends on what year 302 it is. The 86-93 Mustang 302's used the same timing cover and waterpump as the trucks. I think the accessories are if not the same, similar to the trucks for those years.

 

I believe it was out of an 87 as long as its efi ill be ok i am gonna replace timing ignition system and all that all i want is the block and maybe headers

 

So i have the motor everyhing seems to check out it seems to be a h.o. 302. I have the heads and block intake pan just need the pickup tube then put all my stuff on it and it that easy?

 

Yes. Basically the only difference between your 93 truck long block and an 87 HO motor is the pistons and the cam. Your 93 has a roller cam, but it's the "base" roller with a different firing order and less lift and duration. The 87 HO would have forged pistons, your 93's would be cast or hypereutectic, same piston, different material. Everything else is the same (block, heads crank, rods,etc) Should even be the same distributor too. Your 93 may have a knock sensor in the back of the block behind the intake where the HO motor would not.

 

Ok thanks im just prayin this all goes smoothly i ordered a new distributor wres and plugs a lot of parts o my current one are new hopin to get started on it within the next few days work is keepin me away from it then after i get all this together its on the hunt for some decent priced 35s or better mine have flat spots and are causing a death wobble tierods wheelbearings all that are good then ill be back to a 100% well like 90 lol

 

Ok got a few more questions hope i can get some help seein it go both ways should i use the HO intake or my truck heard truck intake has better low end? Thats what i am looking for but have heard the ho is bettee for a few reasons any input?

Im gettoing started pullong my old one in the am finally hopin sunday afternoon to be puttomg ot back if anyone knows of maybe a step by step or just a decent walkthrough would be appreciated
