302s...
Stupid question, is there a resource somewhere with all the differences between 302s? Also, anyone know if there are any differences in mustang 302s and explorer 302s?

Explorer 302's use the 94-95 style intake (with the crooked TB mounting position) but they are a Cobra style intake (higher flowing). They also have the "GT40-P" heads which are a decent upgrade over the mustang heads but may require special headers to fit in a mustang. Explorers also use a crank position sensor and coil packs rather than a distributor. Not sure what else is different.

what i was most curious about was cr, build materials, etc... looking for one of the higher output motors, because its going to be stock for a while...
ive been reading up on the ranger station's v8 swap section, and they list hundreds of parts needed for the conversion, but i figured they sounded rediculous, since some exploders comes with 5.0s.
v8ranger- i'm swapping into a 93-00, waiting to see what comes up at auction or friend's dealership as a trade in. im kinda picky and on a budget, so it'll probably take a while. looking for a extended cab shell, preferably stepside, with a/c & p/s at the least... i can always add power options inside.
-edit-
to boot, i don't know a whole lot about 302s, and i'm trying to research information on mods and the motors themselves. all i do know for sure, is i do want to run a 5 speed, f/i.

93-97 require adapters to get the engine in...this is not a big deal, you can find them in summitt jegs etc...
98-present .... if its a torsion bar front you can use all of the explorer v8 parts including mounts and accessories...literally everything.
98-present coil spring front trucks currantly have no mounts commercailly available. you would be on your own.
302s have basically been the same since 1982...with the exception of adding a roller cam in 1985. im speaking of the bottom end,block,crank...
