Hmm I don't think it's worth it I would rather get an original 5.0 and use his money towards fixing that up iono thats just my opinion

how clean is the 4cyl? v8 fox bodies are pretty cheap right now.
if he has parts hook ups and knows what and where junkyard deals are he can do it for under a grand.
id find a v8 though, lots of good deals out there right now

im not sure how clean it is ... i just know he's getting it for $750 ... which isnt bad ... and i know he has friends that can "MAYBE" get hook ups on parts and i know i can probably too... but i just think he's in way over his head ... he thinks he only has to convert it a "lil" to make a 302 fit in there... and i told him when you convert you cant do a half job you have to convert the whole thing ... so i dont know .. but thanks for wall the helpl guys!

the plus side to converting a 4cyl is the body/frame and torque box's are Not twisted and abused. it will definitely be cheaper to covert a 4cyl if your cousin is doing the work himself, if not just grab a factory V8.
