    yup 302 would be a better swap but you're looking at about $3000 just to get the motor where it should be, then theres the car.... it was a 4cyl car so you'll need to upgrade the rearend, transmission, get the right motor mount brackets, right radiator, and many other things.... which will probably total you out at around $5000 on that side of the car too... thats if you're doing this all the right way.... if you're willing to dump about $8000 maybe more, maybe less.... into this car... then go ahead... and dont let it discourage you cause if you think that you probably will get discouraged... then probably not a good idea to start it in the first place.... a coupla places for good parts and info are www.laurelmountainmustang.com and www.jmcmotorsports.com .... if you need advice and tips.. JMC is a very good place to go, they build mustangs all day long in their shop and i know their techs personally.... i reccomend talking to Jeff if possible he's ussually very busy tho... both these places dont really specialize in your car though... most places dont its not a very popular year... but they might be able to help you a bit

    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
