 Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... I have a 77 with original 302. I need to find another engine and have it installed by someone. I can drive it better than most and fix it with wire and duct tape, but otherwise out of my league...
Any thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated.

Re: Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... Might want to talk to RJLougee. Last I spoke with him he had a complete 302 he was trying to sell. And I know he does work too. But he is in Falcon/Peyton.

Re: Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... Do you have the space and / or tools to do it at your place?

Re: Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... I should also add that I have a motor, stock 302 that is .30 over. If you have the space, just not the tools and know how we can work something out.

Re: Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... I'd be happy to help, depending on scheduling. Seems like a great way to learn how to R&R an engine.

Re: Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... No shop needed, and I should have a trailer soon. I like Justin's idea of getting a few folks together and we can knock it out at my place. With Willem's help I knocked out a engine swap in 12 hours, I'm guessing we could cut that down with a couple of Bronco brothers helping out. What do you think?

Re: Need engine for 77 302 v8. Current one went boom... Depending on when this happens I have a trailer with a winch we can use too.
