- I have a 1973 Mustang Grande, ( Work in progress)
Hi guys! Im new to the Forum and have a few questions for those of you who have "been there, done that"
I recently bought a 1973 Mustang Grande! when i bought it it was running and driving,I am not sur on the original engine, but it had a 460 Swapped into it.
(I will get vin code and find out later today what the original engine was)
Anyway, the engine has seen better days so im going to go for a 302/351.
Im just wondering what the easiest method would be?
I was thinking of buying a donor car ( grand marquis or something) and just use the engine and trans as a combo. ( as i have found it is easier said than done )
In my area it so much more common to find trucks. So my question is: Can i find say a f150 and swap the engine and trans with the exception of maybe (from what ive heard the manifolds or headers wont fit as well as id need a front sump oil pan?)
Or would i still be better off finding a donor car ( grand marquis, lincoln etc..)
basically i want a transmission that i can bolt right in without welding anything.
anyways, Thanks in advance
