So, in my belief that putting an engine together outside the car would be easier than swapping the cam and heads with the engine still in, I got a spare.
I am doing this outside the car to afford myself time as well, I want to have the engine in the car in a few weeks rather than having to do all the work in a day with it in the car.
I have an engine from a Mark VII(came with the PCM too, now I have 2), does it matter what year it came from?
I read the thread about the timing covers being the same for most of these 302s and just wanted to make sure I am going this right, this is the first time doing any engine work.
So far I have:
- long block
- GT40P heads
- Explorer intake
- Mustang shorties
- 19# injectors
- new water pump(Ford)
- new oil pump
- new oil pan is coming(the one on the engine has a hole for the oil level sensor, I just don't want a big hole in there and I don't have that sensor currently)
- all gaskets needed(I think, it came as a full kit so I hope it is complete
- Mark VII PCM to keep cruise as stated int he HO thread
- I also have a Mustang cam if it matters which one I use
Is there anything else I would need?
Any help would be appreciated.
