3.8 to 302 in 87

[swamack]

My 87 has a 3.8 that is going downhill. I'm thinking about putting a 302 in it. Does anybody know anything about a swap or info on the trannies or anything?

Any and everything would help.

I've heard of people swapping 3.8's for 302's but it's a pain. Is the 302 fuel injected for carb. If it's carb it's not so bad, if it's injected then you have the right computer for the motor and rerun all the right wires for the motor and find a trans that will bolt on the 302 and be able to handle it with no problems. keep me posted on what you decide to do.

Going, Going, Going, Gone to the jackass in the back who paid $497.75 more then it is really worth. But he did get a real nice $2 Kmart CD player and a set of 6 inch sony home theater speckers in the truck.:thumbup:

That would be me, So what. It's a Pioneer. How much did those subwofters cost 450HPviper????

[450HPviper]

It's a Pioneer.

No, it's a Curtis or something like that, and the subs are still sitting in my room collecting dust.

[Scott 02]

Them subs would sound better if they were in your car by now and not sitting in your room now wouldn't they steve?

[Scott 02]

Them Subs your bought would sound a heck of alot better if they were hooked up in your Escort and not sitting in your room now wouldn't they Steve?

[450HPviper]

It's a better system then what you got.

[Scott 02]

If Im going to shake the shit out of my car its going to be with the exhaust.

[450HPviper]

I like the race muffler and new tips Scott. They sound and look cool.

[Scott 02]

Yes, It would be 5 times louder if I had True Duels and not a Y-Pipe. Oh well, its still loud.

[450HPviper]

Hey, my scort will have a Y-pipe.
