I am going to go look at a 302 that a guy wants out of his garage.He only wants $100.00 for it.all I know is that it came out of a 1977 vehicle.what info should I look for on the engine to see if it will go in my 1983 Tbird?
If I end up getting it,I will be asking you guys for alot of advice on what will be involed in getting this engine installed in my bird.
first off,I am not looking to make this a race car,just a nice street car.I would really like to use the tranny I have now (C5).any thoughts on this?

If ya need man, I got a spair AOD layin around somewhere I can give ya. As for 77' motor, it's flat tappet. Probaly hit or miss just about what a CFI motor would be 140HP/220? TQ. Not bad and if it's carbed, then you just need a duraspark box and alittle work to drop it in. I'll help in any way I can

You could use the C5, I'm not sure of the reliability of that transmission behind a V8 but it would bolt up. More than likely you will have to change the oil pan and pickup to a fox style pan..

Now if you want to spend $300 I know where a couple of complete explorer motors are if you are willing to drive.. Low miles... Gt40p heads.. would make a very nice street engine.

Are we sure the 302 is in fact a 302? According to my ford interchange book, that is a 69-70 351

Part numbers that start with:
C= 60's
D= 70's
E= 80's
F= 90's

It's a 60's block. If it's a 302 or a 351 I couldn't tell ya. Flat tappet cams aren't so bad if you're going carbed. If you want a simple street car I'd just go carbed for your '83. I would upgrade the trans though. You could use an AOD or if you don't need the OD band and want durability go with a C4.

Well then it has to be a 302. A 302 intake won't fit on a 351W:hick:

Early 351s have extra bolts at ends of the intake...

It's a '69 302...
