Now that's something I may save up for in the military. A coyote swap
or this, 4v cobra terminator swap, I love fox body engine bay, you can pretty much throw in any ing engine you want, and she take it in nicely.

I'd hope she takes it in nicely :dmx:

The motor alone is $6k. The control pack another $1500 Add in K Member, headers, and all the other parts needed and you are looking near $10k easy. Most build I see are near $15k when all is said and done.If you can afford it, the coyote is the way to go. Why spend $5-7k for a stock block 302 stroker that may make 450hp and be pretty much maxed out naturally aspirated? For the same money, you can do a stock coyote and make the same power. Better mpg, smoother, stronger block, room to grow, and broader power band.

Feh,... Don't like that kit one bit. You do not want a multiple piece pan cork pan gasket, cork vc gaskets. You want the bearings to match your crank. What heads and cam are you running as that dictates the pistions and rings. If you are going to go budget bargain basement, get a used explorer short block for $200, throw some new gaskets, a new ARP oil pump shaft, melling high volume oil pump, and some decent FelPro gaskets in it and go on your way.Ok so assuming I don't need any kind of bore to the engine I will get this rebuild kit:
Part # FEM-MHP174-000 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fem-mhp174-000
What kind of timing chain & gear should I get along with replacement lifters? These are not included in the rebuild kit that I am guessing I have to replace. I searched for Oil Pump Driveshaft and none were available for a 302. Anything else that I should replace?
Sorry if this belongs in the Tech section due to technical specifics.
Im going to run the stock (E7 i think?) heads. The FelPro Gasket kit is $70 and I would like to get that rather than the "high-performance no name brand" gaskets this kit comes with. What cam would you guys recommend for the stock heads? I'd really like to keep this engine relatively stock. I'm not that much of a performance junky and its just a daily driver. I'll more than likely get a hatch and modify that in the very far future.
The guy who is rebuilding my engine is going to port my intake I believe. He is also sending the heads and block to the machine shop to get milled and cooked. He has multiple trophies for car shows/track events and builds multiple engines a week so I have a lot of trust in this guy. He estimated labor to be $400 - $500, machine shop will be around $500 and then the other $500 I have is for rebuild parts.
