    Hey I'm going to the pick/pull this week to look for a 302 to swap. Obviously it will probably be efi but I want to convert back to carb. Is this a decent selection of parts for a street car? http://m.summitracing.com/parts/CMB-03-0202

    Or is there better?

    Its just a start at the parts you'll need if you're starting with a 6 cyl car. Read http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=36034 for issues and answers to do that swap.

    There are always better parts, but that combo is a good-un.

    I went to the junk yard and found a few possibilites however I'm unsure of a few things... I found a v8 in a crown vic 1997 however when I ran the vin it read a 4.9 v8 modular engine. Is there a differnce between that and the "5.0" 302?

    Yes, those are two completely different engine. Nothing interchanges between them. The new 5.0 in the Mustangs is also a Mod motor. The Vics last had a 302 in them in 1991. Everything afterwards had a 4.6 mod motor
