1973 mustang
Looking for a 1973 either 351W or a 302, I think they are interchangeable:/ can only pay about 500 for it, will trade possibly.

 
Hey, I read your introduction thread. You will want to verify what is in the car now. It will make for an easier swap. Not all parts are interchangeable and the additional costs will eat into your budget.

For example, if you have a 351W now and you put in a 302 your exhaust will not line up. Additionally, the accessories use different brackets.

And you are not limited to a 1973 engine. Any earlier 302 or 351w (depending on what you have) will do the trick.

 
I have a 351 in there at the moment
Are you sure it is a 351 Windsor? Our cars only came with 250 inline 6, 302 or 351 Cleveland in 73. Unless it is one of the rare 351 Windsor Mexican built mustangs and I don't think they built them in 73.

You could for sure put a Windsor in but then you have to find everything to make it work.
