Hi Guys
A mate of mine is pulling out his 3.3 diesel and putting in a 302 windsor he has from a donor MQ but the exhaust manifolds are not quite right. What manifolds or headers do others run as he has one on the drivers side face back and the passenger side is a D/S turned up side down and face forward with the pipe loop under the donk

I am running the EFI 302 from the EF Falcon with that I used the standard EF Falcon manifolds. The passenger side was a tight fit where the pipe went passed the chassis though but wasn't impossible to do.

Will the EFI exhaust fit on the older carb 302's

How on earth can you spoil another vehicle by putting a Ford motor in it. How disgracful.

 

[Wish I Had Coils]

says you chops!!! what you want to put a dirty old oil leaking 253 , 308 in. baaaa what a dirty motor

 

[Ch0ps]

Better than a rattly old Ford. I feel sick just thinking about it.

I believe that the inlet manifold interchanges but not sure about the exhaust manifold. There is only one way to find out. Get onto a Ford wreckers they may know.

Found out some more today It is actually the drivers side that is the problem they have used two pass side manifolds off two different models maybe XY and Mustang. He also has a 2" body lift so he may be able to go out between the chassis and the body.

What is he doing with the 3.3 motor Plonka?

 

[Evil!]
