Anyone have any pictures of clean examples of Ford 302 swapped S13's? I'd prefer to look at those with EFI rather than carbed.

As much as I like the LSX, SR20, and especially the KA-T, a 302 powered S13 could be pretty cheap and plenty fun.

So, what have you?

I was looking for more clean swaps...

It seems like the people who have money to make a clean LSX swap are not the same people who are doing 302 swaps. I've seen plenty of 302 swaps...but they all look kinda haggard.

Well, then I would ask you to swap yours clean and then showcase it. Normally that swap is done for budget reasons and those swaps arent always the cleanest. I would look around more on the internet. Although this isnt the most popular swap for 240s.

id love to do this myself...theres some information out there but its 50-50, you cant trust it. i did read one one page that the motor mounts from a 5.0 explorer will work if you cut a small peice off in an s13. dunno for sure though.another thing i was curious about was the change from hydrolic clutch to cable? i didnt really find anything on 5.0 + manual swaps. just autos.its doable but i wouldnt want to be the pioneer
