Fox body 5.0 into 67 Mustang

There are a few changes that need to be made but it's pretty easy

Great tips!. Remember having to do that to a Lincoln 5.0 I dropped into a 73 Maverick yrs back.

Thanks for the heads up about the canges on the 302. Also, I had an experience when I installed 351W heads on a 302 block. Unknown to me, the heads had been milled way down to the point where I had to have the intake manifold end rails milled so the manifold gaskets would seal. The compression was also rather high, I had to run aviation gasoline in it. It went like hell, though! I'll avoid buying milled heads in the future.

My neighbor and I did this on his 1966 mustang. Rumor has it these efi 5.0's came with forged pistons from the factory! It's a fun swap!

My 65 Mustang has a 302 originally out of an 86 Ford van. It went in about 15 years ago. We went with all the front end accessories from the 60s style 289. Looking at the engine, you would think it is a 289. We had to change the front cover and pan as you said. The front of the 302 crank was shaved a bit so the accessories would mount as if it were a 289.

I put a 5.0 from a 90 Mustang into my 68. I used shorty headers and the timing cover from my 289. I also added the fuel pump eccentric and my old distributor which I had to change the gear on as to not destroy the aftermarket cam. Everything was on track until I had an issue I didnt read about anywhere. I am using the accessories from my 289 and the power steering bracket bolt didnt fit the 5.0 head. I didnt want to ruin the original aluminum bracket so I bought a '70 stang ps bracket and drilled out the correct bolt size for the 5.0 head. Almost there.

Nice vid, you were my 1st phase instructor like 9 years ago. Keep up the good content 👍.

Water pump on serpentine drive is opposite rotation than V-belt. Make sure timing cover matches the pump rotation. The 289 cover works for V belt but timing pointer is opposite side. Have to mark TDC on damper to time ignition.

Windsors are my favourite builds! I'd be dropping that 351 into that '67!

[sheldonkepley]

thanks for the information! your videos are awesome! so, can i use the mechanical fuel pump with the EFI on this set up?

[peterluta]

Cool season is in. Bring on the projects. Please. ☺

[tjhamer]

Thank for the vid, We like all your ford stull

You don't want to confuse somebody into thinking that the Windsor pan will fit on a 302 because the rear main is larger on the Windsor anyways that thing would be cool with a hilborn injection setup on top

[robertlamont]

Where did you get your oil pan and oil pickup tube from. What is the part number. I'm doing the same setup on my 67, but having trouble with what oil pan to use

[pippinc]

What about those using V belt? Don't you need to change the water pump/timing cover to rotate the other way? And as noted below, change the gear (compatible with steel cam) on the vintage distributor if you are trying to make a more original looking build.

I had a 67 mustang i wanted to do the same thing with but never did

[micksmalibu]

Good to see you back. Has the temperature dropped yet?
Keep up the great videos👍

try putting a 390 in a 64 ford pu with the old 312 in it with front mount then it was a 63 t bird 390 with the cast iron automatic with out the bell housing found that ford made 3 different bolt patterns on the 390 and a 390 63 t bird is one of a kind the stander 390 it has none of the same bolt pasterns block and trans the other rare one has the same block but not the trans so i had to drill and tap the trans bolts to the bell housing but stock the 390 i had has 400 hp with the tri witch i got with the engine rebuilt for 75 bucks that is y i used it it was cheap because after 2 years the guy could not find a bell housing for it . i was just going to build it from scratch but found the one i did and it was a lot faster to do .

been a while since we seen ya just wanted to let you know I saw a 351w in a bronco with a 4 barrel and thought it would be a good build.
