mustang grande 1973

[mustanggrande]

actually not only advice is needed for me.,.,., im new here and as a mater of fact i joined because recently my father bought a 1973 ford mustang grande as our project car.,.

its still in good condition (the whole thing) , it needs a little bit of repair but the problem is, it doesnt have an engine,,

the owners before us sold the engine for another wich is lesser for the pocket..

the original engine for my mustang is a "302 or 351 V8 engine"..

im from ilocos and theres no available engine here..

so i would like to ask u guys if you happen to know, where i could actually find 1 and eventually buy it...,,

and please.,.,.,""" with transmission""""

its very hard to find 1... im looking forward to your help... tnx.,.,

By this time the Mustang has gotten bigger and heavier.
Is it a true 1973 model?
The Ford Mustang's V8s had also gotten weaker because of stricter emission control...
302 V8 136 bhp
351 V8 154 bhp
351 V8 156 bhp

For performance, you might have to upgrade to the stronger older spec 1972 V8s:
351 V8 266 bhp
351 V8 275 bhp

I think it's possible to remove the emissions controls.

Just like those cars they restore & modify in Rides... everybody gets excited when the crate arrives...

You can buy EFI kits for the original engine. This also helps with emissions.

If you don't have the original engine anymore, numbers matching doesn't matter, as even if it's a period correct engine, it's not worth as much (collectability wise) if the VIN and engine number don't match the original receipts.

Thus, don't count out putting a different engine in.

Actually the original spec 1973 engines are weak...
302 V8 136 bhp
351 V8 154 bhp
351 V8 156 bhp

A 302c.i. crate engine with a GT40 aluminum cylinder heads would cost you USD 3,200.00 without shipping cost.

I suggest you just buy TURBO's 302c.i., and just upgrade the cylinder heads with bigger intake & exhaust valves (edelbrock and trick flow comes into mind) and hardened valve seats so it can take unleaded fuel.

EFI is also very expensive. An edelbrock EFI kit for 289 and 302 engines would cost you $2,800.00. I suggest you just upgrade your carb into a new generation carb (holley dominator series carbs comes into mind).

you can also ask TURBO if he can source for you a manual toploader tranny. you can later on upgrade the classic tranny by installing a hydraulic system kit (from JMC), heavy duty clutch parts (ford racing), and shifter kits (from Hurst).

Please feel free to PM me for other tips. I've also restored and upgraded a Stang- a '67 (oops, sorry, still being worked on).

This is the US$3,000+ 302c.i. crate engine producing 320+hp!!!
It has a short-block 302 and GT40 aluminum cylinder heads!
