I have a buddy with a 2.3L mustang. He wants to put in a 302 w/ a t5 tranny, both of which I can sell him for 600.
what else does he need to do to the car to support this swap?

If he is doing a carb'd set up, he could go just like that. For EFI he needs the entire engine harness, and computer. He really should get an 8.8 rear end, but if he keeps his foot under control, it might last for a little while. He'll need to figure out exhaust though, of course.
If he has an auto right now, he'll need a pedal assembly, quadrant, clutch, etc. for the manual swap.
lol. i think he might be better off doing a turbo.
but he's set on the v8, for some odd reason...
Hey man it a Mustang, lol Deserves a 5.0.... lol thats what i want, but even so got a killer deal on a 2.3 turbo set up. so i couldn't pass, Turbos are fun but V8's sound powerful... everytime my buddies comein with there GT's makes me want a 302 as well.... [&o]

No problem with 20 mpg even with me c-4 if wife drives it. Now with me maybe. Now with c-4 will need 3.27 gears or higher. When had 3.73 was terrrible on gas. Talking 16mpg or worse. With a t-5 or overdrive no problem.

The only GT I DON'T like is the four eye lol. I want <1979 or >1990. But I'll accept a four eye if I get a steal.
