i recently blew a hole in my number 5 pistion and have a buddy who will sell me a mildly built 302 from a 77 f150 i have an 86 f150 and was wondering what all i would need for this swap and i have full ascess to everything on the 77 so any info would be great

 

I believe the frames are different so you will probably need engine mounts perches from an 80-86 for a 302, do you have a manual or auto tranny? I think you will need the flexplate(automatic trannies version of a flywheel two totally different things) as the 300 and 302 use different flexplates I believe(not sure) if it is auto. The bolt pattern for the trannies are the same obviously.

 

All trannies for any of 300/302/351W have the same bellhousing bolt pattern. Also yes, the flexplate/flywheels are engine/tranny specific.

Engine mount perches should be from same generation truck you are putting the engine into. I'm pretty sure the 302 block never really changed much throughout it's entire life or at the very least between the years in question.

 

Mildly built throws up a flag for me. Got to make sure your tranny can handle the power.

 

sorry i forgot to mention i recently installed a t18 4sp from a 78 f150 into mytruck and the donor 77 150 also has the t18 in it

 

Yes, but a mildly built engine is probably already pushing ALOT more ponies than stock. I would recommend a professional tranny rebuild.

 

i know my 86 300 inline 6 has the feed back carb and the 77 302 has a holley 650 ,i was wondering if i could just use the electronic distributor from the 77 or if i would have to completly strip out my wiring harness or if there was some way i could use my 300s

 

any body have a link or a write up of this i just need to know how to go about wiring the distributor and altinator

That place in the link has great wealth of information re: ignition wiring and upgrades. All to do with TFI module and has links to places with wiring diagrams, part numbers, which vehicles had what and so on and so forth.

Unsure which would link properly so I used the forum link post and also posted the full url. Lol!

Alternator shouldn't change too much from what you have with your current 300, just gotta get the same year accessorie brackets for a 302, or you might luck out and they are interchangeable. Not 100% sure.

 

thanks for the help this truck is my livly hood and i cant haul lumber with the wifes saturn vue too well i just need to get it running, i have swapped a good amount of motors before but nothing from a feed back carb to straight carb before not sure what all ihave to worry about
