302 engine swap

oneshot1kill · Jun 30, 2010

I am in need of a new engine for my Bronco and am currently running the original 71 with a performer intake and 625 Edelbrock.

I have all the EFI stuff from a T bird to make a fuel injected engine. I have a line on a 1996 roller 302, will my 71 stuff bolt up to this block and can I run the T-bird injection on it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The T-bird injection will all bolt right up to the 96 engine.
The rest of the 71 stuff will require various changes to work: flywheel needs to be 50oz imbalance, this will most likely need a new clutch as well. The harmonic balancer will need to be a 50oz imbalance unit as well. The clutch linkage will need an adapter to fit the 96 block.
Short answer is no, your 71 stuff will not be a direct bolt up.

Thanks for the info, sounds like I will be better off holding out for an early engine.
