Finally got the 302 out of the mustang. It wasnt difficult, but rather a bit time consuming. The general consensus is about 3-4 hours for a motor removal, but not when you are with a rats nest of wiring and an utter lack of reasonable cleanliness from the last owner. While our pace for this project is rather slow, we are only working on it 8-10 hours a week.
Regardless, we are excited to get past this small hurdle and actually get to the actual swap and resume work on the BMW. In parallel, we will be rebuilding the engine using, most likely, a summit racing rebuild kit with a .010 overbore. We really want to get this thing in solid shape to ensure good reliability and power. Also, since our 3rd gear synchro is out on the T5, we will be getting a rebuild kit from thegearbox.org to guarantee a solid drivetrain.
Anyway, we'll deliver some shots of the mayhem shortly.
