How easy would a engine swap be from a 1973 ford thunderbird with a 429 to a 1973 gran torino with a 302?

What would I need to switch or change on the torino?

You will need the engine mounts and transmission, the ones from the Thunderbird might work. Radiator, too most likely. There will be a lot of parts, but the Tbird should have most of them.

Engine, transmission, & some smaller parts, but it will be worth it.

  • My 1976 Ford Gran Torino won't idle? When I put gas in the float bowl it will idle for like 10 sec but it won't stay running unless I give it throttle
  • What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
  • Is a 1970 ford thunderbird easy to fix up? I've found a pretty good deal on one but it's missing motor and tranny. I've found those too, but I was wondering how hard it would be to do this. Also, is it possible to put a 2005+ drivetrain from say an impala or mustang or something in it? I want it to be so I have to fix it less. Don't worry, not changing interior or anything. Just the stuff under the hood.
  • Ford Mustang engine swap to for lightning engine? Possible? Mustang 97 with a 02 ford lightning 5.4 engine can it be done? I was just wondering I want to start working on my car but want a engine swap.
