Answer 4

It wouldn't be worth the expense, you'd have to re-do almost everything. I'm sure it's been done, people have been putting those small block Chevys in virtually everything with two or four wheels since the late 1950's and you can too if you have more money than brains. If you don't have any creative ideas and want someone to tell you where to start and how to do it from the beginning to end, maybe you should consider a different project...

Answer 5

A Chevy

Answer 6

Would be easier to dump in a 289 or a 351 but if you must
You will need to have the motor mounts made
You will need a Chevy transmission
You then will most likely need to have the driveshaft custom made. and will have a headache with the wiring.

Answer 7

350 is a Chevy engine. Try a 351. Since you don't seem to know the difference you may want to hire someone to do it.

Answer 8

First i gotta ask WHY!!!!????? Why not put a 302 and stroke it to a 347? Why a chevy in a FORD? That is border line blasphemy. It would be so much easier to put a 302 or even a 351 in there. But good luck anyways.

Answer 9

compelled induction on a inventory N/A single port 3.8L isn't a stable thought in any respect. you would be *lots* greater suitable off and funds forward to do a 302 replace. i'm not accessible of any direct greater healthful rapid kits for the CFI 3.8L so which you will would desire to fab up your guy or woman. The CFI and intensely constrained eu programing recommendations are going to be extensive hindrances in this, and it fairly is fairly not solid as there is not something objective-equipped accessible for this engine, and as i discussed previously you likely will never get the gas transport staggering with the CFI and primitive eu. this could wreck your economic enterprise account, discern on spending a minimum of two or thrice the cost of the automobile. value: everywhere from $2500 to do it at the cheap, $6000+ to do it staggering (solid internals, Multi-port EFI conversion, helping mods, and so on.) HP: inventory replace into what? one hundred twenty HP? With a modest quantity of improve, you will desire to be finding at around a hundred and eighty-one hundred ninety HP. in case you opt for solid internals and greater improve, the you would be waiting to squeeze 220-230 HP out of it. Reliability: From very detrimental, to below prevalent. there's a reason no one bothers enhancing the old CFI 3.8L. The 302 replace would be some distance greater low priced, and furnish greater capacity and have lots greater suitable reliability.

Answer 10

well you have to change allot of things first. motor stands trans
mounts,coolant lines more thin likely you will need a drive line made for it to.
but the over all thing is good, i like the mustang look but i like the Chevy allot better

Answer 11

what you will need to do is weld some chevy motor mounts on to a ford then it will work. but after that its a lot of work. and any way ford suck stick with a chevy camaro or something
