Starting on my 67

Do you guys see a future problem with the engine and transmission combo I have selected? It will be carb engine. I'm reading that if I use a mechanical fuel pump I will have to get a certain timing cover and something about the concentric being to thick. I wanted the 87 302 because of the roller cam and supposed 225 HP.
You'll need engine perches for a 302 truck. Your trans mount will work for your C4 but you'll need to drill new holes in the frame to relocate it a bit. You'll need an auto steering column. Now would be the time to convert it to power steering and power disc brakes. You can get the parts from a dent donor. When you get the dent auto column get the linkage rod from column to C4. You can also get an auto rad from a dent (for the trans cooler lines). Best rad is one from an a/c truck.

Thanks Moe,
I have the perches I need but the power steering and disk brakes upgrade are going to put me over budget. It would be nice though. This isn't going to be a daily driver so a power booster and drums should suffice. Either way maybe I can upgrade those items later. Those trucks in my area are hard to find and if you do they're to nice to salvage.

There are a bunch of threads on that very subject in this forum. If you to to the top of the forums page, you'll see a box that says "Search forum", and you can type in crown vic front suspension, and probably pull those threads up.
Here is one of them:

There are all sorts of technical threads here, at the top of the forum, several on the crown vic suspension swap:

Broncohog:
Welcome to FTE!
The mustang roller motor's timing cover has no provision to mount a mechanical fuel pump as I recall. Plus the serp belt requires that engine to have a reverse rotation water pump. If keeping the serp, then go electric fuel pump and a pressure regulator set at about 6 PSI.

As I recall, the tubular GT40 intake only gave a few more Ponys over your 93 Cobra intake. That 93 Cobra intake was simply a cast version of the tubular GT40 one. And the Cobra one could be ported where as the metal tubular upper could not be. There used to be a company who would force an abrasive gel type material through intakes etc which "ported" them. Don't remember the name.
