    Thinking about swapping out my 1973 4 door maverick 4.1L 6 inline for a 302 engine...

    Question(s): If I purchased this engine crate, it comes with everything from the carb to intake manifold, what else would i need to complete the swap, of course a transmission about which would I use, year and a c4 or? Also, would I have to upgrade any front suspension? Motor mounts?

    I looked at the tech article but couldnt really figure it out....:hmmm:

    Thanks for the help!!!!

    You would need motor mounts and frame mounts. Also it needs to come with a front sump oil pan. Adual exhaust tranny mount would be good too. Some people decide to go with a bigger radiator, but some say the old one works just fine. :)
