As I asked about swapping my inline 6 with a 302, I was curious if anyone knows any good places to get a bell housing or at least what exactly I need to be searching for. I typed in 302 bell housing in Ebay, but not sure if the year or model of the car it came from will make a difference?

Also what would be the best carb to get for a 302 in a 65 Mustang?

 

Try mustang plus and I'm running a 650 Holley

 

If it will be your daily driver and you aren't going to have a tone of performance parts, the 600 range is where you wanna stay for your carb. Now the brand choice is up to you. As far as the bell housing goes, anything from a 65-81 will work just make sure it's the obvious 6 bolt. But along with the bell housing, there's an enormous parts list that must be changed if you decide to upgrade to the 302.

 

This is the parts list I have so far


Bell housing
Shift kit
600 cfm carb
Starter
Flywheel
Headers
Exhaust
Radiator
Water pump
Front sump oil pan
Torque converter
Distributer
Ignition module
Crank pulley v groove
Water pump pulley v groove
Shocks
Motor mounts
Small block v8 brackets

Thanks for the years and carb size. That will be a big start.

 

Suspension.

Unless it's already a V8 setup, then ignore me. But the I6 suspension, while it may be ok, is not recommended because it's simply not meant for the extra weight of the V8.

If that's the car in the avatar...

 

Ok I will

Add that to my list and yes it's the car in my avatar. Thanks
