I've recently acquired an 89 5.0 from a mustang. I would like to put it in my 74 EB. OK, before I start, and get you started, I did do a search and everything keeps coming up with EFI installations. I'm not putting on EFI, just the 5.0. I have a tired/running 302 in it now, just want to upgrade to roller motor.
I don't have any of the fuel injection system nor the serpentine belt drive system.
My questions are:
1. Can I just put on my 289 performer? If so, what cam should I use? I was thinking about a B303, but don't know how it would perform carb'ed. Does this change the firing order?
2. Does the water pump rotate in the opposite direction or is this just due to the serp. system?
3. Can I put on my belt/pulley system? I have a saginaw PS pump, otherwise stock, no AC! If so, I could use older water pump and not have to change the hose locations, right?
4. What do I need for proper balance? I have a C4 auto.
I know the dizzy will have to change. I got this thing for free, so I'm going to do a rebuild myself.
Thanks.
