Well I bought it. I purchased a 1992 mustang GT five speed for my Twin turbo project. Already have the engine out of it and ready to be tore down. Anything I need to know or you think I need to know would help alot. This is not my first 302 ive torn into. Just have not done too many of them. Any tips woull be cool.

Whoa, I am actually taking the same basic approach for a new motor to drop into my 88 Turbo Coupe. The difference is I want to use a mod motor if I can.

I had a 4.6L SOHC out of a 96 Thunderbird to rebuild and use in my car. However, I decided to "try" and go with a DOHC version or at least a 5.4L if I do use the SOHC.

Problem is, since I sold the 4.6L I haven't found a DOHC or 5.4L SOHC motor that was in a price range I was willing to pay. I suppose I may be waiting a bit longer yet.

BTW, I bough the SOHC 4.6L for 75 dollars with a light knock in it...seriously. Buddy of mine owned the garage that did the swap and the car owner just brought in the car and a replacement engine...left the old motor with the garage owner who sold it to me.

If you ever want to make real power, start looking for an A4/Dart/R302 block in classifieds all over the net, and maybe you can find one already prepped for "cheap".
