Re: 63 comet V8 swap rear end suggestions
Do you know of any vehicle that have the 8 in?, I have been told the best was from a Maverick and a 8.8 out of a 92 and older rangers was a close match but would need some kind of work done. Mavericks and older rangers are hard to come by in my area. Just trying to get a good idea if what to look for.

Re: 289 - 302
i found my 302 on Facebook market place, but any fox body mustang and some older ford trucks will have the engine, check pull a part places, when you do find one, check the engine code to see what year, because that will come in later in your build.

63 comet V8 swap rear end suggestions
Have a 63 comet hard top that is getting a 302, what is or are suggestions for the rear end swap to handle the 302 for street use/ weekend cruiser? Or could you upgrade the 7.25 to take the 302?
