Thread: Help putting a 78' 302 in a 91' 4 banger body

The 7.5 will hold up fine under those conditions. They were actually used in the early 5.0 cars (I had an '84 T Top car with a V8 and 7.5, and it never blew)

Your '78 mounts are wrong for a Fox body. Get a set of '79-up mounts and it all fits. I put an '82 351 Windsor in my '79 'Tang and it bolted right in. The 7.5 rear stood up to 60K miles of abuse and never faltered. Only trouble I had was buckling the body, a set of homebuilt subframe connectors fixed that. And a shock tower/firewall brace, so the hood didn't pop up on a 1-2 powershift. Those bodies aren't all that tough, but that's why they go, they're light.

Guy i know out by you on the indiane border has a 8.8 posi for sale is asking $250 could give ya his email addy . Pm me if your interested in it . Matter of fact he stripped a 88 i believe may have some more stuff you need . He also has a T10 4 spd wants $400 for says he gave that for the hurst shifter .
