I have a 1975 bronco with a 3-speed tranny. I want to swap out the engine with a 302 from a 1991 mustang. What if any problems will I encounter: clutch wont match up, motor mount issues, etc..
Will the new clutch bolt up to the older tranny?
If you want to jerk all of that smog off of the Mustang engine you will need a smog eliminator which is nothing more than a pulley for the belt to run on. Also you will need two fuel pumps, one a low pressure pusher pump and the other a high pressure pump. You will also have to run a feed line and a return line from the fuel tanks. I think Tom's Bronco has all of the instructions for the fuel setup. One thing that gave me a fit was trying to connect the high pressure line to the fuel rail quick disconnect. I finally realized that I could purchase a 3/8 X 1/4 brass barb fitting and then run some 1/4 high pressure hose straight to the quick disconnect on the fuel rail. If you try and run that 5/16 hose to the quick disconnect it will be to loose. Might work but I did not like the idea of being burned alive.So I'd prob be better off just using the engine and taking all the rest of that stuff off. This engine has been modified and has been carburated for some time now. I'm kind of torn between just rebuilding the bronco's 302 and calling it a day. I'd hopped to kill two birds with one stone by putting in the mustang 302 because it has a clutch, power stering pump, and is supped up a little. What do you think?
