Im not sure, but I dont think you have to do any major firewall mods to get them to fit. Not to mention the tunnel is there all ready making power delivery to the rear much easier. #4559 of 6535 born on Feb 17, 1998 Black 1998.5 CSVT FOR SALE [cleaning house]: SVT rear swaybar. Reasonable offer and its yours!

I don't know if I want to leave it FWD or convert it to RWD if the swap is possible. I suppose that anything is possible if you've got the money, or a big enough hammer, but what do you guys think? Do it? Or do something else? And if something else, what? What cam are you interested in putting into the 302? I'm interested in hearing what kind of grind that you're contemplating. I've also heard that Jegs has a front cover that allows a different dipstick due to some hood clearance issues too. Whirling dervish of FFOG.

I was just going to take an 89-93 Mustang 302 and get a new T5 tranny and all that other nice neat stuff. I didn't think too much about it because I didn't want to get all psyched up if it was going to be hell all the way through. F it, I'll do it anyway. Sometime. What cam should I use? Or does it matter? I am thus thoroughly confused if I am a Fig Newton, or if I am a Keebler elf. Oh the confusion... 1999 Ford Contour SE Maroon Stock
