what is the best way to get hold of a 302 ford v8 and suitable gear box,

is it to buy a crappy mustang(locost style), or is better to go through a yank car breakers or somthing.

Its for my capri(mk1)

how about a small block chevy and T5 box? reputed to have pushed a camaro to under 13 second quarters...any good? i know where there is one for sale

unfortunatley i am not in a position to buy at the moment. if circumstances were different for me i would have bitten your hand off. i was asking with the future in mind. sorry

thanks though a chevy and T5 would have been been awsome

still for sale ?
how much ?

How does the Chevy compare in size to a Rover V8? I assume it's the 350ci?
I'm guessing it's bigger and heavier...

five and a half litres, thats massive...

out of interest, how much would that cost roughly viper?!

Asking price is £1500 for the lot, (bellhousing was over £300) not bad for 500hp.
engine is a lot heavier than a rover and consiberaly bigger, but then the rover is a small package.

but you probably wouldnt need the gearbox in a locost coz with that amount of torque you would never need to change gear

Now *that's* cheap horsepower!
Is that a reliable, streetable engine? Supercharged?
