Default motor swap!

ok....so im about to get a ton of hate comments on this. but i let a dumbass friend drive my s2k....and blow my motor.....awesome...anyway, heres where the hate comes into play. im swapping a 302 ford small block in....yes...i know, tons of work, but still. ive always been a die hard ford fan so i figured id mix it in with my favorite car. throw up some comments, lmk what you think, ill be starting the build in about a week so ill have pics up then

Well other than that motor being a little heavy, should be a fun swap. Best of luck! The few ls1 swaps have done well.

How much are you planning on spending for all the parts to make the swap work?

spending.....not alot...except for a drive shaft we're making most of the stuff. i had the 302 sitting in my garage waiting for a mustang....which i never got. so why not? i like being unique....people can hate on it all day lol...in the end to me its still bad ***

There is really no one hating in this thread. Please dont be one of those retards who calls anyone who disagrees or has a different point of view a hater. You sound like one of those kids who makes a thread with " Haters Welcome" in the title.

Make sure you post pics of your swap. Should be interesting to see. Good luck.

I hope you have plans for the Differential, otherwise you'll blow that to pieces fairly quickly.

no ecu in this swap guys, not running fuel injection. and as for the rear end, we picked up a silvia rear end from a junk yard, the place that does 2jz swaps in florida uses them apparently, so if it can hold a built 2jz i hope it can hold a mild 5.0.
