I'm starting to gather parts to put a 302 in my 93 ranger xlt. With an insane stroke of luck I found a 302 out of a 89 crown Vic (which luckily has the dual sump) with around 150,000 miles for only $100. I pick it up next week. Now I know I'm gonna have to put a new cam and lifters and while I'm at it I'm gonna replace the head cover gaskets and head gaskets. I plan to use my stock 5 speed as I was told this is able to handle the power. So any suggestions on what cam I should put in it? Also what's the best way to stiffen the front springs without breaking the bank? I plan to get everything before I start and I'm gonna build the motor about a week before I put it in so its not sitting too long after built. I have the radiator, water pump, alternator, power steering figured out. So suggestions and anything I missed?
