Hey All!
I have come into possession a really straight 1995 Mustang GT convertible that had the motor plucked from it by a guy who only bought it for the motor and mothing else. The car has only 82,000 original miles on it and was an automatic. Short story long: The car was bought from an estate sale, then towed several hundred miles to Tennessee WITH the drive shaft in place, and thus, the transmission was smoked. I bought the car cheap.
What I have to go into the car: 1 moderately used 1990 ford F150 302 EFI automatic 2WD. I have all the intake and EFI stuff from the original 95 GT, just not the motor. I understand the truck motor to be a flat tappet setup, as I have harvested them in other projects in the past.
Now on to the questions::
1. is the AOD in the truck the same as what was in the mustang originally? Gear ratios, ETC?
2. Can I just bolt the stock intake ono the truck motor? Or is the flat tappet cam profile not really good.
IF I have to swap out the cam to a roller and upgrade the block (I am ware this is a pretty straight forward ordeal), do I have to do anything to the heads/valve springs? Or is it just the cam, lifters, and the block gridle/dog bone kit?
Thanks for any guidance!
