I wanted to know if anyone ever put a 302 in a Ford Tempo and this is what I find.

Quoteed from Ford Forums:
5.0 tempo?- vanilla ice says rofl ice ice baby rofl

Stumbling through old music viedos i found guess who, vanilla ice rofl ice ice baby in it he speaks of " rolling, in a suped up tempo.... 5.0 sumhing bla bla" in the viedo he shows a side shot driver side of the cars mid section its a white 4 door converitable. its got a low cut winshield like a tempo but hes so cheap he only gets the mid area enuf to see the 5.0 name plate on the end of the front quater pannel. honstly if its a mustang i think he rented it to shoot the viedo. any 1 know of a 5.0 tempo? from about the time he shot this viedo, the car was brand new

I would also like you all to insert your hotlinks due to my potentially racist sounding topic name.

Thank you for that by the way.

If you click on the link, someone brings that up, but yea, it was a Mustang in the video. The author also had issues with his math. Two doors, not four.

I alway thought it was a shame the AWD Trmpo was so full of suckage, and wished Ford would have included the "sport" V6/5-spd combo as an option for it.

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2) All right stop collaborate and listen Ice is back with my brand new invention Something grabs a hold of me tightly Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop yo I don't know Turn off the lights and I'll glow To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle Dance go rush to the speaker that booms I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom Deadly when I play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony Love it or leave it you better gain weight You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play If there was a problem yo I'll solve it Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

CHORUS Ice ice baby vanillla (x4)

Now that the party is jumping With the bass kicked in and the vegas are pumpin' Quick to the point to the point no faking I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble I go crazy when I hear a cymbal And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo Rollin' in my 5.0 With my rag-top down so my hair can blow

I've heard the HSC 2.3 is an inline 6 with two pots chopped off. My point? Bellhousing patterns should match. Does the straight 300 I6 have the same bell pattern as the two smaller straight sixes? If so, you can get five liters to bolt up to a stock transaxle.

If I were going to drop under $500 on some late 80's FWD Ford crapcan I would probably take the Tempo over the Escort. They were no uglier or better looking than their contemporaries but for some reason I have a soft spot for the 2dr version.

Style wise they have promise, but I have yet to see one pulled off really well. This one gets about 70% of the way there.

Too smooth though. it needs some door handles or something to to add definition. Perhaps a simple pinstripe.

I remember building a "Pro Street" Tempo model kit in the 80's that was just so much cooler than the pro street Baretta that I also (probably) snapped together.
