Are mustang engine parts able to fit on the 1988 Grand Marquis engine. It is the LO instead of HO so i dont know if the parts are interchangable. Any info would be great.

Thanks

It's still a 302. Parts should be interchangeable.

easy there, cold air intake is a good idea, as well as exhaust. but before u start adding cams, and cramming air into this thing, u should work on getting some heads put on that bad boy!!!!!!

holly makes a kit that's real inexpensive, you get heads, upper and lower intake, and a nice roller cam for like 1300.00$ it should put you at 350 hp

I'm with nitrous head.



You can be well over 500 for 1/2 the cost of that with giggly gas.

I was at a site and they said that you need to change alot to make it a HO motor. http://www.coolcats.net/tech/advanced/ho_swap.html

If you have to change that much...may be better just to do an engine swap.
