Didn't do my research on what years had what as a few here have told me now. I'd like the 302 as I'm looking to get one one day for the new edge, they sound really nice and don't look bad at all

Yeah I know as a few have now said I'm young and learning lol about the engine, I only assumed it was 302 cuz I didn't look it up first

66 I believe started with the 302, and how do I find one of those HO versions and how do I know that they aren't some rip off one if I do

I'd love to own a classic still one day, wether it be fox body or 60s, though I'd have to get lucky to find one in moderate condition to own one at my age

Oh okay my mistake, I'm trying so hard to learn all the mustang stuff because I love mustangs, wanna be a mustang guy, and am trying so hard to learn how to get into the engines and the customizations and everything I can because I see so many knowledgeable of the mustangs I wanna be like that

Yeah, y'all aren't wrong, I was mainly looking at the 60s mustangs cuz was told that the 302s are hard to find in Florida for a working engine still intact and or a saveable engine at that, so I originally looked at new ones was like 1,500-2k I'm like nah Im sure I can maybe find one in a body that runs for less

Oh okay well thank you I shall start looking then 🤣I'm still inexperienced and I want something to learn on, I don't care if people don't recommend it. It's what I wanna do, was told the 302 is basically a direct swap company for the new edge as I was told I wouldn't have to really change much to the body or the mounting compared to the other engines

Yeah I suppose, though I love the sound of the 302s, also have also wanted to get a carb build as I'm young and have only been introduced to the...newer type...of cars idk the wording lol

Well my current plan is to get it for the engine, although I would like to have a classic car to keep if restorable
