What would cause someone to swap a 85 5.0(possibly 5.0 HO since car was a GT) out and put in a 91 5.0? Did they make 302's carb'ed in 91?
If it was a EFI motor in 91, why bother switching it to carb? The person I got the car from isn't smart enough to even comprehend a possible advantage of carb vs EFI in a V8 street car. yeah 86 they went EFI so if this is a 302, then it came out of something other than a mustang, with non-mustang motor mounts. Find me a ford vehicle in 91 that came with a 302 carb'ed stock and I'll admit its a 302.

The '91 would have forged pistons and a roller cam vs. shitty pistons and shitty hydraulic cam that came in the '85.
And once you take the upper/lower intake off any fuel injected 5.0, you bolt on a carb'd intake and you're done. Some have the removeable plate that you can bolt in a mechanical fuel pump, while others just run an eletric one.
It really isn't that hard at all.
edit: I had a '84 GT that I put a '92 block in with a RPM intake, Holley 650, and Edlebrock's version of an E cam. And a '83 that used the same block with a Victor Jr. intake, Holley 750, and a beast custom grind roller cam. It's just a better platform than the older 5.0's to start with because of the aftermarket availability.

So it's apparent you don't know much about Mustangs.
The '91 would have forged pistons and a roller cam vs. shitty pistons and shitty hydraulic cam that came in the '85.
And once you take the upper/lower intake off any fuel injected 5.0, you bolt on a carb'd intake and you're done. Some have the removeable plate that you can bolt in a mechanical fuel pump, while others just run an eletric one.
It really isn't that hard at all.

If the 85GT had a 302 HO though, then what would have made the 91 302 better? Didn't the HO come with a roller cam?
I know what it takes to convert it to EFI, but if theres no logic to the conversion then I can't believe it would have been done.

He was some idiot new jersey ricer big on cocaine and never knew shit about the car or motor, he was the one that first told me it was a swap. First thing he told me was "yeah this thing waxes turbo cars like they're nothin! I waxed this twin turbo spyder eclipse but I broke 3rd so he got my stack".
I more than adequately understand the differences and pros/cons of EFI and carb depending on application. I just dont see the logic behind the steps that would have been taken to get a 91 302 into the 85GT.
And the started converting 302s to EFI in 1980 with lincolns, so 11 years later, unless they were in a F or E series, why would they still produce carb'd 302s from the factory?

I had said it was a Edelbrock Performer intake. If it is a 302, I wish I had kept my crank,rods, and pistons I had.

I read the cast number on the back of the block, its been awhile but I remember whatever the first 2 digits(like F1 maybe) equals 1991. I looked all that up way back in the day. I've never pulled the intake off.

but doesn't a 302 HO have a roller cam anyways? and E5 heads, so does a 91 302 only have better heads?
Where exactly is the cast number on the heads? Do I have to remove the intake to get to it?
