A 302 is still a 302, no matter what year car it is in.
Here's a sweet 302, is that in ESP?



What if I took out that 5.0L v12 BMW motor and put it in a Mustang... is the car still the same?

Besides, you *can't* take a 1965 mustang motor and put it in a 1990 body and run in ESP. The line in the ESP rules is for '79-'93. So you can update/backdate only within those years, and ESP doesn't allow you to "build up" a motor outside of the factory specs w/ factory parts.
