88, 5.0, 302 convert to carb?

Carlos Murphy · Dec 9, 2011

Off hand, anybody know what parts I need to convert to a 4 barrel.

1964 1/2 Mustang project with a 1988 5.0, 302 has no computer or harness.

Want to do this O'l school easy way.

Intake, dizzy and plug the secondary air injection ports in the back of the heads with big bolts.

I converted an '87, Duraspark ignition with a steel geared dizzy, Weiand Stealth 8020 intake and Edelbrock 1403 500cfm carburator. Goes great. :icon_thumby:

Conversion

So far on my list is:

Jrg's #15913 electric fuel pump, $69.95

Edelbrock #1406 Performer carb, $299.99

Edelbrock #2121 Performer manifold, $163.99

Still checking on linkage, distributor and a semi hot cam.

Thanks for the help.

If its a Mustang 5.0 HO with a roller cam just go to a parts store and order na distributor for a 1985 Mustang GT 5.0 5speed. That will be the cheapest steel geared distributor you can find to work with a carb. Pick up a used MSD 6 box and used B303 cam for a nice cheap setup.

you probably already know that the lectric fuel pump should be limited to around 6psi (to keep from burning your car down)

I did the carb/intake/distributor thing to my '36....piece of cake!
