    Here it is...........
    10.4 to 1 comp kb pop up pistons .200 domes
    Edel RPM intake
    Edel Water pump
    Cloyes timing chain
    Ford e303 cam roller cam
    Harland sharp 1.6 roller rockers
    clevite bearings
    milodon stock pan with baffles
    stock oil pump
    roush 200 heads milled .021 for proper compression
    I have had this combo before (block split at main webbings) Ran 12.40s on street tires with slicks and small hit of NOS ran 11.80s
    I thought about stepping up to a bigger cam but I love being a streetable car besides that would have meant a bigger stall converter and valve springs and such. If you could see all the parts behind the motor they are for my 351w 408 stroker that is being built for the 67 cougar. So budget was tight as this was an unforeseen expense.

    Looks great! How do you like those Roush 200's? I thought about getting a set for my car, but i couldn't find much information on them except for some flow numbers (which weren't THAT high, but supposedly with those heads it's not the flow numbers that make the power). I eventually just decided on a set of TFS heads for a little extra money....but i've always wondered....

    your old 302....you stated it split at the main webs? Not again! Jeez, I've seen at least 4 of them do that now. Glad I upgraded to the windsor a couple years ago!

    Thanks guys ,thanks for the kind words. The Roush 200 heads for the money just cant be beat. The first set i paid $750.00 for the second 840.00 Less than redoing heads and better cumbustion chambers and flow numbers. A set of AFR heads are worth 30hp or so more but this motor runs good on the street which is what i wanted. The stroker 408 gets a set as well hence the 2nd set I purchased. I had these done with a stage 1 port job just to be safe though. I bought the roushs because he has supported ford for so many years instead of jumping on the band wagon. I think in the near future you will see better heads from roush/world. Yes the main webbings...........I was tempted to buy a Dart block but again the funds with a new wife and 2 cars is just about depleted. Then it would have turned into 331 stroker etc......Man I love these cars and you guys. Life has been very trying lately and believe it or not This board keeps going when I think I should just sell em off and get out of debt or some such.......
