    heres the new engine

    its a rebuilt roller 302 with 10:1 compression, .040'' bore, forged internals, ford racing E cam, reworked GT40 heads. "honey comb" valve springs, and an aluminum water pump. need to pick out a carb and intake tho. has the wrong pan too. so i have a 2nd fox body pan that needs a new home...

    im thinking i might like it a little more in ford blue but that'll be a bridge i'll cross later. not like its gonna make it any faster lol


    BTW, will the flywheel off my '77 mav 302 work on this motor?

    Performer RPM and a 600 or 625 cfm carb will be good for the street.You gonna run headers too??You could go with a wieand stealth intake too.

    Looking good. I don't think the flywheel will work because the embalance on the early engines is different that the later model. I believe 82 and up 302s used 50oz vs 28 oz on the early ones. The 351's are all 28. - Don't shoot but believe I got the numbers right. - Matt
