i have picked up a 71 maverick 200 i6 with the c4....i recently jus came upon a motor for a good deall with gt40p heads all i have is the block pistons and heads....id have to get intake and all that....guy told me it was out of a 98 ford explorer 5.0 no flywheel....what do i need to do to make this bolt up to my c4 tranny....
Nice start for an engine. To top off the motor, you will need a 50oz imbalance 157 tooth flewplate, about $40 from ebay. you will need motor mounts and belly bar to mount the 5.0 into a 6-cyl car. The C4 trans may need a different bellhousing, but I am not sure on that one. It might bolt right up. I am running a similar setup with a torker289 single-plane intake and getting good results out of it, with a 750 Holley HP double pumper carb. But mine is built to spin high and run hard. A decent edelbrock dual plane intake, even a performer or performer rpm should do you fine, with at 600 cfm edelbrock or holley carb (I would go for edelbrock for starters). You should be able to pull around 275-300 HP at the crank with that setup.
i had a guy look at the motor and he told me it will not fit because of the flywheels were different and it has a one piece rear main instead of a two piece and the oil pans need to be changed to a front sump instead of a rear.....but from what i see on here everything looks like a go on it....but everything should work fine then i dont wanna dump a ton of money into it and find out it doesnt work on that tranny
"what do i need to do to make this bolt up to my c4 tranny?" ...the correct bellhousing... ...Frank...
theres a ton of 157 tooth 50 oz on ebay right now for cheap....and also 302 bell housing on there.....doesnt look a problem to find it....if i get those two items i should be good?
that and as Scott suggested...front sump oil pan, motor mount stands, belly bar, V8 throttle cable and headers.
Not too much. The hardest part will probably be locating the V8 engine mounts. The rest should be easy to obtain.
P heads work fine, until you add headers. They make some headers that go up and over the plugs, but they cost big bucks. If he uses the stock manifolds, he will be fine. That is stock from the MAVERICK, NOT from the Explorer. So, Justin, good call on another part he may need.
regular manifolds ?....what manifolds are we talkin about here....the ones off the 200 put on the 302?
so heres the list so far im coming up with ..... 1 C4-302 or 250 bell housing 2. 50oz 157 tooth flex 3. engine mount stands 4. belly bar.. 5. V8 Throttle Cable 6. Transmission Crossmember 7. stock 302 manifolds 8. front sump oil pan
