    The usual combo opinion thread...

    Would a 80 mm MAF be too large? And would 30 lb injectors be too much? Im asking this in the case of someday upgrading to a supercharger, and thinkin of planning ahead with the bigger MAF and Injectors. Thanks!

    The usual combo opinion thread...

    Hell yeah thats what I wanted to know.... As for the daily driver part, just on the good weather days. Depends on how stock looking I can keep it on the outside, don't want attention, just the fun. I haven't even got the car yet, but want to get everything in order when I pick it up...

    The usual combo opinion thread...

    I'm new to the 5.0L/AOD, but not to stangs, Ive done a carb'd 289 no prob, but FI is an unknown to me. Will the below combo result in a 12 sec 89 gt? Do you see any weak points that should be addressed (besides the AOD)?? Engine - 302 - KB 115 Pistons (9.6:1 compression) World...

    Piston/Cam/Supercharger combo

    I have to rebuild my 5.0 due to a cracked piston. I was planning on using KB115 Hyper. pistons, which with my heads (roush/windsor jr.) will give a 9.6:1 c/r. I also wanted to use one of the 303 series ford cams (B or E) and a Vortech V-1 with 5-6 lbs of boost. Will these pistons hold up to...

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    Yeah, thats why I have this '69 short block just sitting in the garage, It was a Mexican 302 that I had built with KB281 pistons, and pete jackson gear drive, I was going to put it in my 65 coupe, but thought it would work in the new car just as easily. Evidently I was wrong, so I think I've...

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    Man, you got that right. I think now its lookin like I just replace the piston ,and hope to hell the block doesnt need to be rebored, but that sucks, I really wanted to use the stuff I had, with the 10.8:1 compression and solid cam

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    Damn, this is getting to be expensive. What would happen if I ran the old balancer and the new flexplate? would the engine tear itself apart? Or will the old c4 flexplate work with the AOD? I know lots of guys have put AOD in the older cars, but never knew what flexplate/crank/balancer was...

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    Yeah the 89 motor suffered just a cracked piston and a bent pushrod, but nothing else, still runs. But I already had the '69 motor built and just sitting there, so I thought I would use it. So heres the plan - Only use the '69 block, crank, rods, gear drive, and pistons. Use...

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    Man, that would suck, i love the sound of the gear drive... ...as for the balancer, I think everything except the short block will be reused from the 89 engine. Hopefully once I start tearing things apart I will figure out what parts can be transfered. What cam can you run with the stock...

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    I think im gonna have to use the newer stock cam and heads, for now, and convert the old block to roller. So will a older 302 with a newer cam and heads work with the stock computer? or will the firing order still be the old one? (is the firing defined by the crank or the cam?)

    '69 302 into an 89 5.0 (fox body newbie)

    I do have a set of Windsor Sr heads with the 2.02 valves, and the springs to match the solid cam, but wasnt sure with them flowing as much as they do if the computer will run everything right. I guess the only way to find out is put it all together and see if it runs. The pistons are notched...

    Will these valves hit my pistons??

    I have the KB281 flat top pistons for a 302 +.060 oversize and a .594 lift cam, it cleared with out notching on the 2.02 valves, but i would check with clay anyway and mine are pretty damn close.
