I have a new project coming my way and have a chance to pick up a 260 motor basically complete with the 5 bolt cruise-o-matic tranny. My question is will a 69 302 intake, cam, hydraulics, blah blah blah work for this 260? I am more so interested in knowing if the intake would work as i have an original iron intake with working/clean carburetor that would be nice to have. ~ Thanks in Advance.

You can find a late model 5.0 roller block for 100-300....Why waste your time.

yes it will all fit but, IMO your taking a step back.. you should be shoving a roller 302 in there than that 260.. or were you just going to raid it for parts? either way its your car.. be careful with the corner intake bolts.. the 260 heads have no support at the edges and you can break off the ends of the manifold...
is your 302 on its last legs?

New project. My mustang is complete. I will not take a step back to a 260 as that is dumb. I have another project. A 260 is cheap and everyone has the 302 or 289 motor. I want different. I got myself a 32 rod. And no i dont want a flat head. Everyone has one of them too. Im doing something different on budget. And yes ford made a 260 in the early 60's. Comets and galaxies had them. Will a 302 manifold fit on top of the 260 tho? wont the 302 manifolds be stronger? Its cast Iron.

I'm more familiar with the big block Fords from that era. I do recall a 260 now I thought about it for a while. If your looking to do something on a budget....it sounds like you have a good start. Good luck!!!

Hmm ok. Sweet. Maybe if i ca find some 302 heads ill throw them on the 260. I have a bunch of left over parts from my 302 and want to use them on the 260 i just didnt know if they would bolt up. Originally Posted by SloSVO
