If I should decide to drop a 302 ci in my 1974 Maverick, would I be able to hook it straight up to the tranny, or would I have to buy a new one. The one I have now is just a three speed automatic. Will she fit?
i just did tha samething to mine. if its stock just install a shift improvement kit in it and youll be fine. if its hipo tha tranny wont last long. make sure its a c4 and not tha 200 i6 tranny
Alright. The 302 is completely stock, 'cept for the exhaust... so she'll fit right in... Thanks guys.
As has been said many times here if the car has a 250 I6 w/c-4 it will bolt right up. Just make sure you have a 157 tooth flex plate on the 302. If the car has a 200 I6 you will have to change the bell housing on the tranny and it may not last very long if you decide to hot rod it a little. Do you have the Frame mounts and the double hump trans cross member for the transplant?
No sir, he no more needs a 302 than I need a hole in the head....Im his Dad, and the 6 cylinder is fine (well sorta). Got alot of work to do, but that's the last thing the car needs....
