At the beginning when i started my swap i didnt no what to get and didnt have many peeps to ask. So what i did know is how to work google and ask as many questions as possible so it would let me know if i wanted to tackle this monster. After googling my butt off for months i started going to the junkyard and picking up things that i needed. I didnt even have a truck yet lol hell@the time it didnt matter because i was stuck on doing the swap. Man i can remember going on youtube and looking@ so many 302 swaps shit i started repeating by watching certain trucks on youtube over and over again. Its some nice as ranger 302 swaps video on there. Before i decided to do this i wanted much info that i could comprehend. Before i got the truck and had rebuild a 87 crown vic motor non ho that i turn in 2 and ho. After i had rebuild that i found a truck on craiglist 91 2wd for $500. I will let yall in on something this shit sounds crazy but i know i took that damyum motor out about 20X before that mofo was in to stay. My friends would come over and laugh there ass off@ me and that motor. But i would just like to share wit the peeps for those who wants to do the swap and want everyone else to do there homework for them...one word impossible ..i will say this you really have to be open minded and try to plan before you cut or you will be cutting again just to make things fit.I am pretty sure many guys up here struggled with the radiator core support i know i did but@ the end i did a great job on planning that radiator to fit. i could go on and on but 1 thing i can say is that this has been 1 fun as project. I just hope that next guy swap be as fun as mines. Hey guys i'm not finished with it and probably will not be until early spring because i want a paint job and interior work. I just couldnt see myself hacking my truck up just to get it on the road for peeps to look@ and then asking why did you cut that like that.. Have fun with that project i know i am.
