Hey guy's, as some may recall I posted a few weeks ago about buying a rebuilt 302 Flat Tappet Engine...Well I just found my mustang, Its an 86 GT (Blah I hate the 4 eyes, but I will do a front clip swap). It already has the 5.0 HO in it, but it doesnt run due to a lack of ignition system and intake. I have an intake coming from Ebay, hopefully by Monday, what I am wondering is should I just keep the motor in it and try to get it running or shall I put this 302 flat tappet motor in it. I would hate to get rid of this flat tappet cause it only has 10k on it and I have put LOADS of time into prep work (painting and cleaning), but I see that there is about a 75 - 90 HP difference between the two. What do you guys think I should do here!!!???
FYI The guy only wants $200 for it and all it needs is painted cause it is all primer...
