302 V8 upgrade on six w/ auto tranny 1969 Mustang
I just bought a 69 coupe with the 250 inline six w/ auto tranny. I have a
302 lined up and ready to be transplanted, this should be a straight deal right? Or are there going to be major implications. I also plan to put in a manual trans a little later, any recommendations? Also will the 302 mate with the original transmission properly or do I need to buy an adapter? Chadon |

A friend from High School did this swap - 250 to 302 - in a 1973 Maverick AT. It did help to have a 1974 Comet GT MT as a donor car for the mounts, etc. The AT flywheel stayed w/ the transmission and the 302 and it all bolted right up. I think a slight change to the tranny mount, and a little driveshaft work(can't remember if it was shortened or lengthened) was the biggest issue. Rob |

Seems to me there is a pictorial in either Mustang and Fords or
Mustang Monthly lastest issue covering the 6 to 8 swap. On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 02:06:56 GMT, > wrote: >I just bought a 69 coupe with the 250 inline six w/ auto tranny.
