Well here is the deal....
I have a new 302 engine block and crankshaft sitting in my shop.
I plan on keeping the Bullitt,but would like to add 100 HP more than what the 4.6 has,plus loose some front end weight.
There have been many 4.6,stroked to 302, engine setups done still retaining the stock fuel system and computer retune.
The Bullitt computer module cannot tell the difference between a stroked 4.6,302 or a Windsor 302...Correct?
My plan is to swap in a 375-400 HP 302 Windsor,which I will build,child's play, and use the Bullitt based EFI setup.
To do this will require a modified 302 intake to mount the top plenum section of the Bullitt intake,the section with the twin throttle body. Mount all the needed sensors,on the stock Bullitt intake to the new 302 Bullitt intake. Keep the Bullitt throttle body and MAF unit in same location,may have to use a larger MAF,as you would with a stroked 4.6.
Use a custom crank trigger setup to connect the stock 4.6 timing sensor to the computer.Also retain the required coil on plug setup,using short plug wire extensions to the 302 plugs. The 4.6 and 302 Windsor have the same firing order.
Use the stock Bullitt fuel system,with larger injectors, to fuel the 302 Windsor thru the stock Bullitt computer,plus whatever fuel pump mod is needed to fuel a stroked N/A 4.6
Swap in the new 302 Windsor,using shorty headers,1995 302 GT K-member if needed,plus a new Tremec TKO-500 trans.
Yes the Bullitt computer would need new fuel and timing programs,but it should be a simple swap for 375 N/A HP,plus look like a Bullitt type engine setup with the stock Bullitt upper intake plenum and airbox.
What do you think? Nothing here I can't do in my shop. Plus a better package than a heavier stroked 4.6 and cheaper in the long run. Need the beefier trans whether 302 Mod engine or Windsor. Save around 100 lbs. on the front end!
Reason for all this....I don't see myself being able to afford a future $40,000 dollar new Musclecar, to get the planned kind of performance. The Bullitt is still an excellent Mustang,just a bit horsepower challenged against the latest versions to come out.
Any comments or additions to what I may have missed?
